Is this food-safe?

If a glaze is food safe or not depends on several factors including the type of clay used, the firing temperature, the shape of the vessel, the thickness of glaze even the position of the vessel in the kiln can have an effect. Ideally a food safe test would be carried out by a reputable body like Lucideon. In the case of the glaze mentioned it would most likely pass a food safe test providing it was fired on a suitable body like our ES5 Original in an electric kiln and to the recommended firing temperatures

The pot in the foreground looks glossy and the one in the background looks almost matt. Why are these two pots so different in term of glossiness?

The pot in the front is fired slightly higher.

Hi
Do you know how this glaze looks on dark clay like black sculpture clay (stoneware)?
kind regards, Lene

Sorry we have not tested this glaze on dark clay bodies but suspect it will make it a very dark brown colour.

Terracolor Powder Stoneware Glazes are a more cost effective and faster approach to glazing a larger volume of pots. Simply mix the powder with water and pass through a sieve to create a dipping glaze. All Terracolor glazes are Lead Free.
