I expect no single answer. It must depend on the ceramic and the environment. Alumina, aluminium nitride and a rooftile wouldn't behave identically. Rain isn't the same as hydrofluoric acid.

So what ceramic, what conditions?

For alumina in air at room temperature, you won't find any protection method because no protection is needed.
