Cinnabar Mayco Stoneware Glaze
Description
Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colors and shades. Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful color variations. One coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deeper the color. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish.
Cone 6: Cinnabar is a rich maroon-red gloss glaze that tends to develop a hazy purple float with heavier application.
Cone 10: Color darkens.
TIP: One to two coats will produce an opaque maroon-red; three+ coats will produce higher levels of purple float. You’ll produce beautiful color variations with Cinnabar without the glaze running off your ware during a cone 6 oxidation firing.
Size: 473ml Brush on liquid glaze.
Working Notes
For full coverage, use 2-3 coverings. Allow each to dry before applying the next.

Health & Safety
Manufacturers Recommendations: Dinnerware Safe indicates the fired glaze surface meets the FDA standards for food safe, the fired surface is free of surface texture that could potentially trap bacterial, and the fired surface is chemically durable. Please note, dinnerware safety is not defined by cutlery scratches. Finished ware producers bear responsibility for dinnerware safe testing their ware being sold into commerce.
We at Bath Potters will quote the manufacturers recommendations, but if you intend to make ceramic dinnerware with selling in mind, then you would be best advised to get your wares tested.
