Night Reef By The Sea Reactive Glaze
Description
Night Reef is a dark, moody Milton Bridge Studio Line 'By the Sea' reactive stoneware glaze, designed to create deep coastal colour, glossy movement and naturally varied fired effects. This reactive stoneware glaze develops midnight blue, charcoal and reef-like tones in the kiln, giving pottery pieces a dramatic ocean-inspired finish.
With its rich, shadowy depth, Night Reef is ideal for potters wanting a darker glaze with natural variation and strong surface character. It works beautifully on mugs, bowls, vases, planters, sculptural ceramics and textured stoneware, especially where the reactive finish can pool, break and highlight carved or raised detail.
- Colour & finish: Dark midnight blue-charcoal tones with glossy reactive variation
- Firing range: Cone 2–6, approx. 1160–1240 °C
- Best for: Dramatic coastal pottery, mugs, bowls, vases, planters, sculptural pieces and textured stoneware
- Application: Stir well, then apply 2–3 even coats by brush, sponge or stamp, allowing each coat to dry
- Food safety: Food safe when fired to the manufacturer’s recommended temperature
- Size: 550 ml
Please note that Night Reef has a lower firing range than most colours in the By the Sea collection. As with all reactive stoneware glazes, test first and avoid heavy application near the foot of the piece, especially on vertical forms where glaze movement may occur.
Working Notes
For best results, apply evenly to bisque-fired ware and allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Reactive glazes can behave differently depending on the surface texture, application thickness and kiln conditions, so testing is strongly recommended before using on larger batches or customer pieces.
Note: Reactive glaze results will vary from piece to piece. Colour movement, breaking, pooling and surface variation are part of the character of this glaze range. Always test first.
