Vitraglaze Stoneware Layers: Midnight Snow

This set consists of 2 x 250ml glaze, 1 of each in the following stoneware colours:

Tin White Speckle

Oxide Green

A deep blue green with flecks of white snow settling to thin blue horizon.

1222°C to 1280°C (Cone 6 to Cone 9).

The sample shows two applications on Vitraclay Studio Throwing Clay, fired to 1250°C.

Apply two generous layers of your first glaze Tin White Speckle and let this dry, this should take between 5 – 10 minutes and then apply two more layers of your second glaze Oxide Green.

Test on a sample piece before using on final wares. Protect your kiln and shelves, with batt wash and sacrificial dishes as fluxing may occur. Leave at least a 20mm gap between the glaze and the base to allow the glaze to run.

These glazes used together would unlikely be to be safe for dinner/tableware. To be certain, you would need to submit your wares for testing at a reputable laboratory. In the UK, the emphasis in law is to the ‘maker’ who takes responsibility for the food/dinner safety of a glazed or unglazed ceramic ware.
