Tigers Eye Mayco Stoneware Glaze
Description
1230°C (1st image): Tiger’s Eye breaks from a glossy deep brownish-red to frothy amber depending on the application thickness. one to two coats will produce browns and reds; three to five coats will result in more glaze movement and color variation. While you’ll experience beautiful movement with Tiger’s Eye, the glaze will not run off your ware during a cone 6 oxidation firing.
1300°C (2nd image): Color darkens.
Tip: Thinner applications will produce darker browns and reds; heavier applications will lean towards an opaque, light brown finish. Butted against another glaze, Tiger’s Eye will gently merge with it – SW-104 Black Walnut is a nice complementary glaze to use.
Size: 473ml Brush on liquid glaze.
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.
