Mayco Stoneware Crystal Glaze SW199 Purple Aster 473ml
Easy to use and available in a variety of textures and finishes, Mayco’s assortment of Stoneware Glazes provide endless possibilities for glaze combinations, and offer depth, sophistication and reliability to the ceramic community working from mid-range to high fire temperatures.
Mayco’s Stoneware Crystal glazes are a unique line of glazes that contain colourful crystals in the glazes themselves that are designed to melt and bloom during the firing.
These crystals add variation in colour, finish, and movement to the glazes that you already know and love!
All Stoneware Crystal glazes begin with a base glaze (often from the stoneware range) which is listed on the product label.
Firing Range: Cone 5-10
Swatch Firing Results:
- Cone 6 – Purple Aster is a glossy, semi-opaque lavender glaze that breaks over texture and develops a pale violet frost; deep blue crystals melt into cascading blossoms of indigo.
- Cone 10 – Colour darkens slightly. No change to crystals.
Food Safety: AP Certified. All Mayco Stoneware glazes are dinnerware safe when used according to manufacturer’s directions, except where noted by the “Not Dinnerware Safe” icon. This may be due to surface durability or texture of fired surface.
Please check the new Mayco 2024 Stoneware Release Flyer or individual product packaging for specific food safety labelling.
