Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thickness is the key to making mattes work for you.
Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
Cone 6 oxidation : Frost Blue is a mottled blue soft matte glaze that breaks a muted green/gray.
Cone 10 reduction : Semi-gloss finish with variegated blue/light blue. Can exhibit green hues.
TIP: Because of the chemical make up, this glaze can vary between a green and blue finish. It has a satin finish. If you like the results that Robins Egg (SW116) gives you, then you will enjoy this glaze because they are made up of similar things.
