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 safety 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.

Rich and glossy

Fires great with very good opacity using 3 layers, fired at 1050.

My only gripe is sediment settles too fast in the small pot and due to the volume, can be difficult to thoroughly stir prior to usage. If you buy this in the smaller sizes, you'd benefit from transferring it to a slightly larger tub. I have the cheap small white tubs from here too that work perfectly.

Other than that minor hiccup, it's worth getting. I'm yet to find a Vitraglaze clay or glaze that doesn't do what it says on the tin!
