Seramiksir SP 1530 Fuchsite - Crystalline High-Fire Glaze (R25398)

SP 1530 Fuchsite - Artistic Crystalline High-Fire Glaze

SP 1530 Fuchsite is an artistic crystalline high-fire glaze that develops light-colored crystal formations over emerald green tones. After firing, richer green areas may develop in central regions, while thicker glaze areas can produce icy, pale crystalline transitions. Its glossy and fluid character creates variable mineral-like patterns across the surface.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The emerald green and pale crystalline surface character of SP 1530 Fuchsite can be paired with the following tones:

Application Notes

• Coat application: Apply the glaze in even coats to support balanced crystal development across the surface.
• Crystal behavior: Crystal size, density, and distribution may vary depending on application thickness, peak firing temperature, and cooling rate.
• Thickness effect: Pale crystalline formations and flow patterns may become more pronounced in areas where the glaze is applied more heavily.
• Flow control: Leave areas near the base of vertical forms unglazed and consider that the glaze may move downward during firing.
• Kiln shelf protection: Fire pieces on a protective catch plate or suitable kiln shelf separator to protect the kiln shelf from possible glaze runs.
• Thinning: Add water gradually and in small, controlled amounts. Avoid excessive dilution.
• Mixing: Stir the product thoroughly before and during application to ensure even distribution of its components.
• Clay body effect: Emerald green and pale crystalline tones may appear more prominent on white high-fire clay bodies, while results may vary on darker or textured bodies.
• Form effect: Glaze may accumulate in recessed, curved, and horizontal areas, producing richer color, crystal development, and flow effects.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, flow behavior, and surface reactions on a test tile.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the glossy finish and crystalline surface character.
• 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 store away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
