Actually, 'fat', in the sense of a glaze,
generally refers to a sense of translucency
and viscosity, a 'gooey' look to the fired
glaze which is rather reminiscent of ham fat.
It is a term often used to describe semi-
opaque white or off-white base glazes, but
can also refer to colored glazes as well.

These tests are all from Clayart postings.
The darling of these tests is the base for Caramel Apple, which was a =
mishap because I forgot to add the Red Iron Oxide. It shows a very nice =
white base that is fat. It is soft white and has a nice smooth feel.
I will put the photos of these tests on my website within the next day =
or so and will post when they are ready.

I've seen in various sources people refer to a glaze as "fat". I'm not
sure what they mean by that. Could someone elucidate, please?
Thanks...

They mean "phat" slang for awesome, good, or pretty hot and tempting, to name
a few. It isn't spelled the same way as fat from an animal.

I stand corrected.

Hi earl,
Fat glaze can mean two things.
Mostly meant to describe the thickness of the glaze as in "body" - glazes
with lots of silica have this quality. I have heard it described in terms
of flesh and bones - lots of flesh over the bones.
High magnesia glazes are some times referred to as having a buttery feeling
- butter fat glazes.
