Product Information

A very appealing matt blue glaze which speckles more with 2 or 3 coats. At higher temperatures this glaze develops toasted areas on rims and edges.

The sample shows two applications on Vitraclay White Throwing Clay, fired to 1240°C.

Working Notes
  • Steel grey through to speckled deep blue where glaze is thicker.
  • Thin areas will develop to toasted brown.
  • This glaze fits well with all Vitraclay bodies and fires without flaws.

Health & Safety

Vitraglaze is lead free and non-toxic.

Good housekeeping is essential in any pottery studio to minimise inhalation of silica dust.

Always clean up with a damp sponge and if any dust is airborne, such as when mixing powder glazes, wear an FFP3 mask.

Preparing a powder glaze

Always wear a mask when mixing powdered glaze.

Glaze should be added to water according to the instructions.

Mix glaze for at least 10 minutes, sieve the liquid glaze using an 80 mesh screen, working all the material through the sieve using a stiff brush.

The glaze mix should have a single cream consistency, remember it’s easier to thin a glaze so begin with a thicker mix than you expect.

See under ‘product attachment’ for how to mix a dipping glaze and our ‘really useful dipping guide’

Applying a brush on glaze

Remove glaze from the pot, stir and agitate the glaze in a larger container, make sure all the material is mixed thoroughly.

Whilst keeping the glaze moving, dip your brush and hold it sideways to keep the material evenly distributed.

Apply using confident dabs, move the liquid around and work quickly and smoothly.

2 to 3 applications could be needed so allow to dry between coverings.

Beautiful glaze

A lovely semi-matt glaze, worked beautifully on its own or layered with reactive white. Will be buying more!

Matt multi tonal blues

Jeans in many shades altogether in one easy to apply matt glaze. Stays where you put it and picks up texture well. Looking forward to combining with other Vitraglaze colours.

Beautiful glaze

I’d call this more of a French navy than denim but it is lovely.

It is wonderful. It is a satin finish with subtle softness that is gorgeous to touch. Fired to 1220C as I glazed a pumpkin and some bakers loaf cookware. I will be buying more.
