Wrong. These tiny spheres (actually they are not so tiny) form over time as a precipitate in a glaze having a high concentration of a boron frit and mixed in hard water. This may be an example of how interactions can affect the degree to which materials dissolve in water (in this case the electrolyte in the water could be a trigger). These are likely ooids.
| Glossary | Water Solubility The water solubility of ceramic materials is an important consideration to their usability in the process. Glazes are suspensions of insert powders, solubles present problems to this system. | 
| Glossary | Precipitation Crystals or crystalline particles will often form over time in ceramic glaze slurries that contain slightly soluble materials. |
