Working Notes:

  • This glaze fits well with all Vitraclay bodies and fires without flaws.
  • Stronger opacity and higher gloss with multiple coats.

For advice and tips on application with a brush-on, please refer to the article in our knowledge base. "Application with a Brush".

For powdered glazes, please read the article "More About a Dipping Glaze".

This glaze could be potentially 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 worthiness of a glazed or unglazed ceramic ware.

For further reading, please read our knowledge base article "Food Safety in Ceramics".

Health & Safety

Lead Free.

Refer to each SDS below for the individual hazards of each glaze.

General Advice:

When handled sensibly, a 'brush-on' glaze presents no serious health issues, but to be safe, do not ingest the liquid and avoid contact with your skin and eyes.

A powder or dried brush-on glaze presents a hazard. It may contain crystalline silica and other materials, which, when inhaled, can cause long-term damage to the lungs or other health problems. We suggest when working with powders or when cleaning, wear an FFP3/P3 mask and filter and use a wet sponge.

A very nice bright white that seems to be consistent and reliable

Test tiles

First trial of powdered glaze. Looks good as a dipping glaze. Tiles have 1 layer all over 2nd layer half way up and thick layer at top. Crawls when too thick?

(On Sibelco white throwing clay, Vitraclay toasted, and a cone 6 porcelain).

A good classic white

A fresh clean white which speckles a little bit but not unattractively. A firm favourite.

Excellent results.

Experimenting with two and three coats (photos attached) this glaze, I find, gives best results with three coats. Two leaves surfaces somewhat grainy (unless that’s what you want?). Very happy with this glaze; will buy again. Small tumblers are lined with x3 coats and the single tumbler has just two coats of polar white. Happy glazing!
