Seramiksir SP 1480 Gustav - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R26036)

SP 1480 Gustav - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1480 Gustav is an artistic high-fire glaze distinguished by reactive blue, green, and turquoise transitions developing over a warm base dominated by amber, honey, and golden tones. Its character varies between glossy and satin finishes, creating a balanced appearance across flat areas while developing mosaic-like speckles and variegated effects where the glaze pools. Application thickness and firing conditions directly influence the intensity of the color transitions.

Application Notes

• Base effect: In thin and even applications, warm honey, amber, and earthy tones may appear more pronounced.
• Reactive transitions: Speckled variations in blue, green, and turquoise tones may develop in recessed and curved areas where the glaze pools.
• Thickness effect: As application thickness increases, reactive colors and the mosaic-like appearance may become more intense. In thinner areas, the base color may remain more dominant.
• Surface character: High vitrification may produce a smooth, glossy surface with occasional satin areas.
• 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 and chemical composition of the high-fire clay body may affect the amber tones and intensity of the reactive speckling.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the artistic color transitions and surface gloss.
• Safety: Gloves, an apron, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application.
• Storage: Keep the container closed and store away from direct sunlight. If settling or thickening occurs, mix thoroughly before application and strain if necessary.
