__NOTOC__

* A small fragment of a fragile art work with jagged edges.

* “Small fragments of glass, pottery, stone or other brittle object with a sharp or ragged edge (AAT 2004).”

* “An irregular sized chip or fragment from a ceramic, masonry, stone, or ore surface.’ ‘Spalling, or breaking up, of the surfaces are often induced by freeze-thaw action, corrosion, or salt formation (MFA Boston 2013).”

* “Defect in repeatedly fired clay materials where outer layers shrink and peel away—most often occurs in kiln hot-face when refractories are repeatedly fired beyond their rated temperature (Ceramic Arts Daily 2014).”

'''Discussion'''

In climates where stone or ceramic items rest outside and are exposed to the elements on a regular basis (i.e. buildings that have gargoyles on their roofs or ceramic pots for plants), they are more at risk for spalling. “Freeze-thaw cycles can result in spalling, or delamination of the stone surface, eventually leaving no more than a shapeless mass in a relatively short amount of time (Encyclopedia Britannica Online 2015).”

This can also happen with ceramics where there is a “defect in repeatedly fired clay materials where outer layers shrink and peel away—most often occurs in kiln hot-face when refractories are repeatedly fired beyond their rated temperature (Ceramic Arts Daily 2014).”
