Does lead free mean food safe. Ive layered this glaze with spectrum dinnerware safe glazes...will it remain dinnerware safe? 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 glaze 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 temperatures.

Any white stoneware clay will give you the same result like our ES5 Original will work well.

Hello,
I have fired the glaze at a high point, 1240 Celsius.
The result is quiete dark and I can t see any of the beautiful azure shades.
Do you think is because I fired it to high?

Hi,
If you fired to 1240°C on a computerised controller I would suggest this may be too high. I would lower the temperature and experiment with thickness to get the desired effect.
Hope this helps!

I'm sorry we do not have this information for our glazes. Thank you for your understanding.

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.
