Seramiksir SP 1472 Egon - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R26032)

SP 1472 Egon - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1472 Egon is an artistic high-fire glaze that combines almond green with brown and yellow-brown transitions. Depending on application thickness and firing temperature, it can produce results ranging from matte, aged natural stone effects to glossy, speckled green surfaces. Its granular and reactive character creates varying color intensities across different areas of the form, giving the surface a layered appearance.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The aged green and earthy character of SP 1472 Egon can be paired with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Thin application: At lower firing temperatures and with thinner coats, a matte, aged natural stone appearance with brown effects over an almond green base may develop.
• Thick application: In areas where the glaze pools, the green tone may intensify, yellow-brown speckles may become more pronounced, and occasional glossy transitions may develop.
• High-temperature effect: As the firing temperature approaches 1250°C, surface gloss may increase. Thinner areas may develop a muted green tone with brown speckles, while thicker areas may shift toward more vivid pistachio green tones.
• Granular structure: Matte areas may develop microcrystal-like formations and particles that can be felt on the surface.
• Flow control: The risk of glaze flow increases with thicker applications and higher firing temperatures. A sufficient unglazed area should be left near the base of the piece.
• Crazing risk: Glaze crazing may develop depending on the clay body, glaze thickness, and cooling conditions.
• Consistency adjustment: For dipping or spray gun applications, water should be added gradually and in a controlled manner to avoid over-diluting the product.
• Clay body selection: The color of the high-fire or porcelain clay body may affect the appearance of the green tones and brown speckles.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the matte-to-glossy surface transitions.
• Safety: Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application, and the working area should be adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container closed and store away from direct sunlight. If settling or thickening occurs, mix thoroughly before application and strain if necessary.
