Muffle temperature for overglaze enamels seems much too high.
In the section dealing with the firing of overglaze enamels it says this:

‘The enamel pigments were applied and then fixed in a second low temperature firing at approximately 1,300 degrees Celsius (2,372 degrees Fahrenheit) in a muffle kiln ...’

However, I think that the overglaze enamels are fired at a lower temperature, perhaps 800°C to 900°C, although I am not at all an expert. 1,300° C might be the firing temperature for the porcelain body. Perhaps the author can check their sources and make corrections. Thanks.

 * I agree on both points - unfortunately the editor concerned only did this article and left. If the enamels could withstand 1,300° C, there would be no need for 2 firings really.  for now I'll just hide the temperature. Johnbod (talk) 13:45, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually I see I queried this in a hidden note at the time.> Johnbod (talk) 13:50, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
