Four formulas of sanitaryware porcelain were studied. The influence of soda feldspar on the reduction of firing cycle is particularly highlighted. The samples were prepared and treated thermally at various temperatures and holding times and then characterized in terms of water absorption, total shrinkage and flexural strength. The results affirm that it is possible to reduce the firing temperature thirty degree Celsius (30
