SW186 Azurite (Mayco) Cone 5-10

AZURITE SW-186

Cone 6 oxidation (first image): Azurite is a soft matte, cobalt blue glaze that will pool dark and glossy and break a light brown.

Cone 10 reduction (second image): Color changes to green where thin/breaking and remains dark blue where thick/pooling. Increased movement.

Tip: This glaze can be very mobile; Recede coats to avoid run off on vertical pieces and practice caution in combination.

DESCRIPTION

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thickness is the key to making mattes work for you. We recommend firing our matte glazes to cone 6 to produce a satin matte finish.

Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
