lead monoxide

The color comes from the lead monoxide glaze that is applied to it.

Melted lead is oxidized in air to lead monoxide.

Almost all of the pottery made here is of a jade-green color, due to the lead monoxide glaze which has been traditionally applied to it.

The green color and shine of the pottery is a result of a lead monoxide glaze, which can leach into the foods that the pottery holds.

Lead(II) oxide is also called lead monoxide and also called PbO.

Finally, lead is oxidized to form lead monoxide (PbO) or is absorbed into the walls of the crucible, leaving the refined silver behind.

Mr. Juarez and virtually everyone else in this village in the western state of Oaxaca use lead monoxide to prepare the glazes that give a warm green shade and high shine to its distinctive plates and bowls.
