Is this glaze foodsafe?

If a glaze is food safe our 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 on the glaze. Ideally a food safe test would be carried out by a reputable body like British Ceram. 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 suggested temperatures.

Can terracolors be low fired (1050) my kiln is a small beginner low firing kiln so only goes up to this? Would the work ok on stoneware?

Hi, in short no - stoneware glazes need to be high fired to work. If you look at the Terracolor Earthenware Dipping Glaze category, you might find something you like in there. All of those glazes will work at 1050°C. Hope this helps!

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.
