A functional matte liner glaze is possible - with care.

insight-live.com/material/1178">Ravenscrag G2928C matte liner glaze is on the insides of these mugs. Like our G2934 recipe, this matte glaze needs to be fired to a real cone 6 and fired in the C6DHSC drop and hold and then slow-cooled schedule. If cooled too slowly the surface could be too matte would be subject to cutlery marking (especially on the inside bottoms). If cooled too quickly it will be too glossy. When firings cool slowly just because they are tightly packed the degree of matteness can be tuned by blending in just enough glossy glaze to make the surface smooth enough to be functional while still matte enough to be attractive to the eye and the touch.
