ConsistentPerformance and Control!

Cone 6 oxidation (first photo):Blue Splatterware is a white, semi-matte glaze that contains a blue crystal. As the crystal melts it creates small blue blooms that cause the glaze to resemble the look of 19th century enamelware.

Cone 10 reduction (second photo):Crystals become less defined.

TIP:SW-141 White Matte is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, you may try applying two coats of SW-141 White Matte with a third coat of SW-152 Blue Splatterware.

Maycos Stoneware Crystal Glaze

Maycos Stoneware Crystal glazes are a unique line of glazes that contain colorful crystals in the glazes themselves that are designed to melt and bloom during the firing.

These crystals add variation in color, finish, and movement to the glazes that you already know and love!All of our Stoneware Crystal glazes begin with a base glaze; most of the base glazes can be found in our other Stoneware Glaze lines.

General Use

Stoneware Crystal Glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need thorough mixing prior to initial use and in between each coat. Apply two to three coats using a fan or hake brush. While the glaze is wet, use your brush to redistribute crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over application of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. See label for additional firing information for individual glazes and cone 10 performance.
