Seramiksir SP 1385 Tanzanite - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R26023)

SP 1385 Tanzanite - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1385 Tanzanite is an artistic high-fire glaze that develops reactive lilac and violet particles over a deep cobalt and ocean blue base. Dark blue tones appear more pronounced in thinner areas, while purple and lilac effects may intensify where the glaze pools. Its glossy and vitrified surface gives ceramic forms a layered and variable color character.

Application Notes

• Thin application: Dark cobalt and ocean blue tones may appear more dominant along edges and in areas where the glaze is applied more thinly.
• Thick application: Reactive lilac and violet particles may become more concentrated in recessed and concave areas where the glaze pools.
• Crystal effect: The distribution of effect particles may vary depending on application thickness, surface form, and kiln cooling rate.
• Gloss: Due to its high degree of vitrification, properly applied areas may develop a smooth and glossy surface.
• Form effect: Curved and textured surfaces can make the transitions between the dark blue base and purple-toned effects more visible.
• Consistency adjustment: For pouring or dipping applications, water should be added gradually and in a controlled manner to avoid over-thinning the product.
• Clay body selection: The color and chemical composition of the high-fire clay body may affect the appearance of the blue base and lilac-violet effects.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the artistic particles and surface gloss.
• Safety: Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application, and the work area should be adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and away from direct sunlight. If settling or thickening occurs, mix thoroughly before application and strain if necessary.
