In leaded glazes manganese carbonate can produce purple tinged with brown.
Manganese is usually introduced into glazes as manganese carbonate.
It is also used in health foods in ceramics as a glaze colorant and flux and in concrete stains.
Manganese carbonate is a relatively powerful ceramic flux.
Fluxes are used to lower the high melting point of the other glass elements such as silica or alumina.
