When the kiln is at it's max firing temperature it will shrink the clay completely if you do this hold. Then the glaze will be on a vessel that will not change it's size due to temperature. We once had an expensive vintage mug crack because it was on a high shelf near the air conditioner vent. In 9 years of ceramics I've only had two mugs crack and I've not heard back that any have become crazed. I hope this helps, Wendy
