Glazer

/ˈɡleɪzər/ noun

Definition

A person or tool that applies glaze to pottery, tiles, or other surfaces to create a smooth, shiny, waterproof coating.

Etymology

From glaze (verb, to coat with glaze, from Old Norse origin) + -er (one who does). The -er suffix creates agent nouns from verbs.

Kelly Says

A skilled glazer in medieval times was like a chemist mixing secret recipes—each pottery studio guarded its glaze formula because it determined if your bowls would hold water or crumble.
