- A matte glaze with an antique effect, showing color variations of white, light green, gray, and black depending on application thickness. Thin applications produce white, light green, and gray tones, while thicker applications create metallic gray shades.
- Exhibits a matte texture at 1200–1220°C. At 1230–1250°C, slight glossiness may appear in thinly applied areas.
- Semi-opaque in thin applications; opacity increases as the application thickness increases.
- No running tendency within the recommended firing range.
- Not acid-resistant. Contact with acidic foods is not recommended.
- Does not contain toxic substances.
Application Methods
- Suitable for brush application; the recommended thickness is 2–3 coats.
- For spray (pistol) or dipping methods, it is recommended to add approximately 5–30% water to adjust the density.
- Recommended Baumé range: 45–55.
Testing Recommendation
- For customers using our glazes for the first time, we recommend preparing test tiles in your own kiln conditions and application methods to evaluate the results. Preparing both vertical and horizontal test pieces according to your application method will help you better understand the glaze.
- In the product image, the glaze was applied on BNC 1200 white porcelain clay.
- When combining artistic glazes with other artistic or different glaze groups, we recommend testing to avoid possible defects.
Care and Cleaning
- When washed in a dishwasher, the glaze surface may be exposed to high-temperature chemical solutions. This may cause matting or variations in its artistic characteristics.
Safety
- The use of personal protective equipment during application is recommended.
- As glazes interact with heat, keep away from fire and open flame sources during application.
- Children should use the product under adult supervision.
Storage
- Store in airtight conditions and protect from direct sunlight.
- If stored for a long time, the product may begin to dry. In this case, add some water, mix thoroughly, and sieve before use.
- After opening, over time the brushing agents, stabilizers, and antibacterial additives in the glaze may lose effectiveness. This generally does not affect the firing result but may influence application performance (e.g., more difficult application or pre-firing surface cracking). If you encounter such a situation, please contact us for solution recommendations.
