Description

Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Opals are beautiful glazes for dinnerware due to its glossy, smooth finish. 

Preferably applied with a soft fan brush on the 04 bisque. Burn to between cone 5 and cone 6 (1200°C - 1230°C). Many colors perform very well even at higher temperatures see pictures, tested before application on production. 473 ml. Ready-mixed.

Information

Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Pink Opal produces a desert rose pink that ranges from semi-translucent to fully opaque, depending on application thickness. Thin applications yield a clear glaze with hints of pink precipitate; heavier applications will create an opaque purple-pink gloss finish that can also form a whitish cast in select areas.

Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): Pink fades out entirely, leaving a transparent gloss with white pooling.

TIP: Vertical pieces best allow the glaze to flow and create a semi-transparent, rose veil. Body textures and features will still be visible through the glaze. Thinner application will provide a glossy transparent finish. Thicker application will provide light pink floating. Surface decoration will be visible under the glaze, but if you apply the glaze thick, it could blur your image.
