GCO 263 Black - Ceramingo Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

GCO 263 Black is a ready-to-use liquid Ceramingo glaze that develops a deep shade ranging from anthracite to dark smoky gray after firing. Rather than a sharp midnight black, it produces a softer, smoky surface with a pastel character. Its opaque, highly covering formula creates a modern, bold and balanced appearance on dinnerware, mugs, serving plates and decorative objects.

Food Safe: This glaze is suitable for surfaces that come into contact with food when proper application and firing conditions are followed.

Application Notes

  • Color character: After firing, the product may develop a smoky shade ranging from anthracite to dark gray rather than a solid black.
  • Brush application: Apply 2 or 3 coats to achieve a rich, highly covering surface, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
  • Opaque formula: Its high coverage largely conceals the color of the clay body and helps reduce the visibility of brush marks across broad surfaces.
  • Clay body effect: White clay produces cleaner anthracite tones, while red or grogged clay bodies may give the color a warmer, more brownish appearance.
  • Dipping and spraying: The product may be too thick for these application methods. Add water gradually and mix thoroughly after each addition.
  • Preparation and storage: Mix thoroughly before use to distribute the dark pigments evenly. Store in its sealed packaging away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Important Recommendation: The final balance of black, anthracite and smoky gray may vary depending on the application thickness, clay body color and firing schedule. Preparing a test tile under your own kiln conditions is recommended before beginning the main project.
