The opaque effect was achieved due to crystallization of willemite, which was identified as a major crystalline phase in the system. The glazes were characterized by a high whiteness value L*, greater than 90 in the CIELAB colour space. The microstructure and structure of the glazes were measured with the use of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS NMR). The topography of glazes surfaces, as well as the roughness level (Ra), were measured with the use of a confocal microscope.
