Why after a long sintering dwell time some porosity "appears" at my sample?

I've sintered 3YSZ at 1450 ºC for 21 h and the microstructure was fine, medium size grains and almost no porosity. Then I've sintered the same 3YSZ at 1450 ºC for 50 h and the grains were bigger...

How can I measure the condutivity (or resistivity) vs temperature of the zirconia samples? Should I apply a field and measure the current?

I am trying to measure the resistance of the zirconia in many temperatures (25-1000ºC), someone have any ideas to make this measurement in a reliable way? Thank you!
