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): White Opal forms a clear- to- milky white gloss surface. One coat produces the clearest finish; subsequent layering increases the incidence of a white precipitate forming. Prominent white to bluish-white colors will emerge where the glaze pools and gathers around surface texture.

Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): White variation lessens leaving a transparent gloss with white pooling.

TIP: White coloration is more visible on darker clay bodies (Buff, Manganese Speck). Thinner application will provide a glossy transparent finish. Thicker application will provide white floating.
