Islamic stone-paste is made by combining clay with quartz or other siliceous material, as well as glass frit, to which is adjoined an organic compound such as gum or glue for binding. A glaze, processed at a higher temperature, was then applied on the surface to harden the object. Islamic stone-paste was invented to give a stronger body to its pottery material, which, combined with tin-glazing of the surface, allowed it to approximate the result of Chinese porcelain. Basic Quartz frit: 1.
* Fine Sand 85 parts 2.
* Soda Ash 15 parts 3.
* Black Copper Oxide 1-6 parts
