Lithium Carbonate is a powerful melter and used in many reactive glazes to brighten and whiten the mixture. This material will also lower thermal expansion which will sometimes lead to shivering in a glaze. It is slightly soluble and can deflocculate a glaze slurry, making it not need as much water.
