No it is to coarse and open you would be better using our ES5 Earthstone Original, hope this helps.

They are very similar however this clay would contain more red iron oxide so will fire darker in appaeranece.

Is this clay waterproof enough for vases and jugs?

Scarva Replies:

This clay body has quite a high grog content so even if it is glazed it is unlikely to hold liquid and you may experience small leakage as the body remains quite open, hope this helps.
