Scarva GZ2305 Zinc-Free Porcelain Transparent From  £9.59

Great glaze, smooth and even, no runs. Fired to 1260°C. Perfect!

Great glaze on ming porcelain.

I've used this glaze quite extensively and I think it is an excellent all - purpose transparent glaze for porcelain. I use it fairly thin in application and it gives a smooth, glossy covering that melts across a fairly wide firing range. Mainly firing to 1260 in an electric kiln. Sometimes one has to be careful in the application stage as drips or runs of the glaze can still be seen after firing but if noticed they can be rubbed off the pot and the surface is okay when fired.

There is a tendency for the glaze to be a bit bubbly if it is applied too thick but this is not a huge problem if the glaze is diluted. Reasonable price and fairly consistent in quality in the various batches I have bought. Needs to be sieved after rehydration if it has been left to dry out in the bucket for a while. Excellent product.

PERFECT CONSISTENCY GOES ON REALLY WELL FIRES LOVELY

This glaze looked slightly uneven when applied and had a few pinholes in the surface on some items, so I was expecting problems. However it smoothed over perfectly to produce a lovely glossy finish. Very pleased.

Does exactly what it says - result just as I wanted.

This glaze is excellent, beautiful even finish, doesn’t run and is easy to mix and work with. Best glaze I own, flawless result every-time.

Note: I fire this glaze on porcelain at 1240.

Would recommend

I’ve used this on a number of porcelains and on a porcelain white stoneware, fired to 1250 Never any problems, even when I’ve not applied it well.

I'm on my second bag of this glaze, it's very smooth once fired and goes on easily. Works very well with underglaze and thinly on black porcelain. I tend to spray glaze, which makes a very nice, smooth finish.

This has yet to go through the kiln at college so I'm reviewing the ease with which I was able to apply it. I've been doing pottery as an evening course for a while now. The glazes at the college become contaminated and gloopy. I thought I'd buy my own. Brushing glaze on is so much easier than dunking a pot. No risk of losing it in the bottom of a bucket of glaze, no uneven application. The product is well mixed and very easy to use. I'd recommend it as an alternative to dunking pots into glaze to anyone doing hobby pottery. It would actually be possible to use this as a dunking glaze if you really wanted to.
