Product Details

Product Information

Taking inspiration from old English pottery, our stoneware saffron glossy glaze looks at it best on a characterful buff body. The glaze will accentuate the iron content within the body showing rust lines and speckles. As a softer yellow it will work alongside other earth colours of greys, browns, and oranges.

Firing Range

1222°C to 1280°C (Cone 6 to Cone 9).

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

Working Notes
  • Be generous with the amount of glaze coverings.
  • For full opacity use as a thicker consistency in dipping.

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.

Glaze Unusable Within One Month Of Purchasing

Purchased this and the first time I used it - fantastic results. Only used a small amount, put the lid back on it, stored it for 1 month like I do all my other glazes. Went to use it again and the glaze has settled rock hard at the bottom, like solid. So unusable now and a total waste of money. Whilst the glazes in this range have all been superb. This one (possibly a bad batch?) is very poor. Would not recommend this.

Love it!

I so wish I’d bought a big tub of this and not a sample. It’s a lovely strong bright but mellow yellow with a hint of orange.
