Hello,
Thanks for your question. The pot on the left has been fired to 1200°C (Orton Cone 5) whereas the one on the right has been fired up to 1280°C (Orton Cone 9).

Hello! Is this glaze food safe? And how about the rest of the terracolour glazes? Thanks!

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 Earthstone Original in an electric kiln and to the suggested firing temperature

What is the powder to water ratio? I am trying to work out how much to buy to make 5 Ltrs

Usually add between 700-800mls of water to 1kilo of powdered glaze. Hope this helps.

Hello, does this glaze layer well with something like a Scarva nano stoneware glaze?

Scarva Replies:

Yes this glaze should work quite well, however I would recommend doing a small sample first to make sure you are happy with the fired result.

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.
