lids glazed all over can fit well

I do all my lids glazed entirely. Lid and pot are fired separately in the g=
laze
firing. How do you figure out if pot and lid will fit together well when
they are done? I have found that if they fit together well, all glazed and
ready to fire, that they will fit when they come out of the kiln. If they =
fit tightly
unfired they won't fit well when fired. Makes sense........
