Seramiksir SP 1478 Gogh - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R26035)

SP 1478 Gogh - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1478 Gogh is an artistic high-fire glaze that combines ice blue and grey tones with reactive yellow-brown speckles. Depending on application thickness and firing temperature, it can produce results ranging from matte surfaces reminiscent of natural stone to deep, glossy midnight blue tones. The granular texture and color transitions that develop across the surface give forms a dynamic and layered appearance.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The blue, grey, and reactive speckled character of SP 1478 Gogh can be paired with the following tones:

Application Notes

• Thin application: At lower firing temperatures and with thinner coats, a soft matte surface dominated by ice blue and grey tones may develop, creating an appearance reminiscent of natural stone.
• Speckle development: Reactive yellow and brown speckles may become more pronounced in thin to medium-thickness areas.
• Thick application: In areas where the glaze pools, the color may deepen and develop into glossy, rich blue tones.
• High-temperature effect: As the firing temperature approaches 1250°C, surface gloss may increase and matte, microcrystal-like particles may develop within the glaze.
• 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 blue-grey base and reactive 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.
