Colour & firing notes

The supplier specifies cone 6 oxidation for this colour.

How to apply

• Stir the brushable glaze thoroughly, then follow the jar directions for application. Let each coat dry before adding another.
• When layering, test the combined thickness rather than applying two full coatings automatically. Protect the shelf when testing fluid glazes.
• Abbots develops its midfire colours around cone 5–6 heatwork. Use witness cones to check maturity; copying a controller temperature alone will not reproduce another kiln.

Food-contact suitability

Check the current jar label for food-contact suitability. A finished piece needs a sound, cleanable glaze surface that fits the clay and has matured correctly; a product label alone does not certify every clay, glaze or layered combination.

Before glazing a full piece

Fire a test tile on your chosen clay before glazing a full piece. Record the coats, firing cone and cooling programme. Photographs show example fired results; clay colour, kiln atmosphere and application can change the appearance.
