I'm not sure the exact meaning of the "vitrified" in the following sentence:
-Hollow porcelain shall be sound, free from defects thoroughly vitrified.
Could you please explain this sentence?
Thank you.
-Hollow porcelain shall be sound, free from defects thoroughly vitrified.

: yes, pottery transformed into "glass", it's the process but vitrification/vitrified will have to be retained to avoid any ambiguity in meaning
