Is this glaze food safe?

f 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

Hi there,
Would it be possible to know what are the appearance differences between the GZ2138 and the GZ2139? Is one whiter than the other, or warm / cool toned?
I am looking for a warm white without blue undertones and was hoping you could advise. Thanks in advanced!

Hi, GZ2139 would be a bluer white than this GZ2138. Should you wish you could add a small percentage (0.2-0.5%_) of yellow stain to make the glaze appear warmer. Hope this helps!

High gloss zircon white opaque, good coverage. Works well with stains and coloured decoration.
