55-OCTAGONAL FISH SCALE

 

 

These glazes are available in both powder and liquid forms. The powders come in 500gms, 1 kilo, 5 kilo and 25 kilo bags except where marked. The liquids come in 500ml, 1 litre, 5litre and 10 litre containers.
All these glazes are very stable under both oxidizing and reducing conditions. Very many variations of colour and effects can be produced by using the different coloured and speckled bodies. All of the glazes are intermixable, allowing double dipping, mottling, pouring on or painting on of different glazes over or under another glaze. This gives an unlimited personal palette range. Underglaze or colours added to areas will give another palette of effects.
All of these glazes fire between 1280-1300°C.
