Matte Black Spectrum Nove Glaze

Spectrum Nova Matte Black Stoneware is a intense true black with a satin matte finish.

Nova Stoneware Glazes produce stunning effects during the firing cycle. The main difference between the NOVA Stoneware series and the Stoneware Glazes is that NOVA glazes are mainly formulated from raw materials, such as Kaolin, feldspar, oxides ETC. rather than frits and ceramic stains which are used in the stoneware glazes. There are two significant benefits from using raw materials. Firstly they are less expensive which leads to more economical pricing, secondly raw materials are less dense than frits and stains which makes them easier to suspend in water. The NOVE series glazes are all lead-free and dinnerware safe.

The final appearance of the glaze is dependent on firing temperature, glaze thickness and the composition of the clay body being used. The same glaze can look quite different on different clay bodies. The images shown are one dipping application fired to cone 5 in an electric kiln on a white clay body. Different results may be experienced in reduction.
