Cone 6 oxidation (first photo): SW-198 Rose quartz is a glossy, opaque, variegated pink glaze that breaks over texture. Pastel pink micro-crystallization may develop on vertical surfaces.
Cone 10 reduction (second photo): Glaze darkens and desaturates to a dusty rose with red and mauve variegation and white micro-crystallization. Breaks mauve grey over texture.
TIP: This glaze is fluid; Apply receding coats to avoid run off on vertical pieces and practice caution in combination. Over-application of Rose Quartz can cause surface issues. Thin application results in vibrant pink; light pink variegation develops with additional application. The micro-crystallization effect is enhanced in a rapidly cooling kiln.
One of the most distinctive traits of Mayco’s Stoneware is that the glazes provide consistent performance and intriguing visual interest. They are best known for being receptive and favourable to the user during both application and firing. Mayco Stoneware glazes are friendly to the user in application, layering and firing. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colours and shades. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired results.
