The old Victorian tureen lid survived the kiln overnight but has some ‘spit out’ which is where there is moisture under the glaze ( maybe had been stored in a damp area,with the surface crazing enabling the moisture in ).
It leaves the surface with a rough feel.
This can be sanded ~ not good enough to sell but usable 💚
It’s always a risk but worth the experimentation.
I wonder who used this in the past..bet they never thought it would have peas all over the lid!
