Every time you make slash from Square Enix characters, God kills a chocobo.
Please, think of the chocobos.

Ummmm... lovely bowl, lovely composition, but you do know that glaze IS glass that's fused to the ceramic, right? So the second the glass fuses to the ceramic...

Thanks...but I don't know quite what you mean

Glaze has elements of glass, but it is different from glass...certainly in the way i apply it anyway

Glaze is a layer or coating of a vitreous substance which has been fired to fuse to with a harden clay or ceramic object to color, decorate, strengthen or waterproof it. (Wikipedia)

It that the glass melts a thin layer of the ceramic underneath it and fuses to the clay. A Frit is a glaze or glass that has been ground into powder to either contain lead without being as toxic or to have a more stable and predictable reaction. [link] So if you're using glass as the starting point, its the same as using an unground frit. The glass melts, reacts with the clay body as a flux and thus causes the body to melt and fuse.

So you can start with a coke bottle, put it on the piece, fire, and it will still be a glaze so long as the coke bottle melted and fused to the body.
