# unglazed

adjective (unglazed)

«unglazed» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. Unglazed pottery or tiles have no shiny glassy coating (glaze) on the surface, so they look dull and feel rough. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/unglazed/#m1)
2. An unglazed window or door has no glass in it. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/unglazed/#m2)

### In the lessons

In art and pottery lessons: clay pots are fired unglazed (bisque), then painted with glaze and fired again to make them shiny and waterproof. In history: old houses with unglazed windows had shutters instead of glass. Plant pots of unglazed terracotta let water and air through.
