Compared with glass, which is harder?

The hardness of coloured glaze is higher than that of glass.

Generally, the density of ancient colored glaze is obviously higher than that of glass and slightly higher than that of crystal, and the hardness of glazed glaze is also relatively strong, which is equivalent to the strength of nephrite. Hardness is higher than glass. But it's too brittle to knock or collide. The cost price of ancient glass is high, and the fine products are worth collecting.

Its main components are silicon dioxide and other oxides.
