← HistoryWhich outcome arose when insufficient potash sources limited early Venetian Murano glass production?
A)Increased lead oxide proportions used✓
B)Higher annealing temperatures occurred faster
C)Sodium silicate became prevalent there
D)Lighter glass colours failed regularly
💡 Explanation
Higher lead oxide proportions increased because, using 'fluxing', lower melting point increases workability with reduced potash availability. Therefore lead content rose, rather than temperature changes because impurities influence thermal stress resistance.
