A high-silica ceramic glaze, having a low coefficient of thermal expansion, suitable for application to alumina bodies, is disclosed. The glaze consists essentially, by weight percent, of 48 to 54 percent SiO2, from 7 to 11 percent Al2O3, from 161/2 to 20 percent B2O3, from 11 to 14 percent BaO, from 2 to 3 percent CaO, from 2 to 21/2 percent ZnO, from 41/4 to 51/4 percent Na2O, and from 0.4 to 1 percent K2O. Li2O and MgO to the extent of up to about 1/4 percent and 1 percent, respectively, can also be tolerated, as can minor amounts of other impurities.
