frit and cover finely grounded
Explanation:
Not too happy about the "cover", but not knowing whether it's a glazing or what kind of covering, not much choice.

Frit
A ceramic glass that has been premixed from raw powdered minerals and then melted, cooled by quenching in water, and ground into a fine powder. Huge quantities and varieties of frits are manufactured for the ceramic industry every year by dozens of different companies.
Although the fritting process is expensive there are many advantages to using frits in glazes, enamels, etc.

roasted and covering finely triturated


Explanation:
frita, i believe, depending on the type of glaze and materials used, would be roasted. and finely triturated or ground.
this phrase is too out of context to know if cubierta is a verb or noun.
