Speedball Mid-Fire Glaze, Basque Green, 16 Ounce Jar for Pottery and Ceramics

This glaze is simply lovely and fires at cone six with gorgeous undertones of green and purple.

This odd little pot that I made became the tester for my new Speedball glazes. I purchased the Hematite (to replace another brand's Mirror that I didn't like), Dragon Stone and the Blackened Copper. I used all three on this pot. I used 3 fairly heavy coats of the Hematite on the lid and am so thrilled with how it turned out. It didn't run all over everything. In fact, it didn't run at all . And, the texture still shines through. Such a fun glaze. The Blackened copper I used on the outside all over (x3) and the inside (x3). I used the Dragon Stone on the top edge of the pot, but I did continue it down over the Blackened Copper. The Dragon Stone looks great on the ledge, but did run heavily over the copper on the sides of the pot. I like the overall effect, it was just a bit unexpected. The inside of this pot is beautiful! The Blackened Copper turned out exactly as the jar promised. Beautiful satin red and black throughout. On the outside, the results were not as dramatic-mostly a pretty brown made shiny because of the Dragon Stone flowing over it. I am testing another piece with the Blackened Copper outside with nothing on top to see how it behaves. While I love the results of the Blackened Copper, my jar is very runny and smells like rotten eggs. I don't mind if it turns out the results are consistent as promised. I can hold my nose while I glaze. This was my first experience with Speedball pottery glazes-I love them so far!

On the mug, I painted raspberry fizz and living coral (2 coats each). On the jar, I used 3 coats of Prisma green with a metallic lid handle. These glazes come out super smooth and shiny. Fired to cone 6 on Iceman clay.

It is a lovely glaze. It is very mat and finish. It really hardly has much of a machine at all, but the color is very light yellow to mustard and is a very lovely glaze.

I’m still undecided if I like this glaze yet. I applied 3 coats on standard 112 clay. I fired to cone 5 with a 10 minute hold. The self supporting witness cones put it at a solid cone 5, with the cone 6 half way down. I may have to get the temperature up a bit higher to see results like the test tile shown for the product? Perhaps it was too heavy of an application? I did 3 coats with a fan brush. I applied on a vertical mug with some texture. I didn’t really see any breaking on texture with this glaze. It was pretty uniformly just mottled looking. It came out mostly green with very little red patches. I was hoping to see more of the red. Some pinholing but generally good. My pinholes are probably related to the speckle in the standard 112. It brushed on kinda weird. The glaze goes on kinda chalky. It is quite thin. I need to do some more tests with it but not on pieces I want to keep.

I don't have good luck with this brand of glazes except for this particular one, Gossamer Drift. It always comes out perfect with no pinholes or any issues. Great for the inside of mugs.

Not at all like the displayed colors. The glaze came out very blotchy with a Matte texture instead of a gloss. This is 3 coats fired at cone 6. I wish I could return but I didn’t fire this color on time.

I used this new speedball Nightshade black glaze as the base coat. I painted 3 coats then added raspberry fizz and blue moss and Mayco Cosmic tea dust. The raspberry fizz turned purple but the glazes look beautiful together. I am going to try this combination again and test done other colors with the Nightshade as a base. I also used it over Soeedball living coral and with cosmic tea dust. Attached are photos

Arrived well wrapped. Great glaze.

Muito bom
