Heliodor 175 Gr SP 1387 - Artistic Stoneware Glaze (R26024)

SP 1387 - Heliodor Artistic Stoneware Glaze

SP 1387 Heliodor takes its name from the yellow beryl crystal, which means "Gift of the Sun" in Ancient Greek. On a deep, smoky brown base, it offers golden yellow and amber glimmers reminiscent of the sun's first rays. It is designed to create both an antique weight and a luxurious metallic glow in your high-fire (1200°C - 1220°C) stoneware forms.

Technical Data and Application

Artistic Character and Visual Effect

The artistic power of the Heliodor glaze stems from its fluidity on the form and the way it refracts light:

• Base Texture: A saturated, dark chocolate brown dominates deep areas and flat surfaces where the glaze pools.
• Golden Eruptions: On edges and raised points of the form, the glaze "breaks," bringing golden yellow glimmers to the surface.
• Shimmer: Thanks to its high vitrification and reactive structure, it offers a rich metallic depth under light.

Color Combination Suggestions

You can create sophisticated designs by combining these dignified and shimmering transitions of Heliodor with the following tones:

Care, Safety, and Storage

• Application: The glaze reaches you in a dense form. For dipping or pouring methods, adjust the density by adding controlled amounts of water for ideal fluidity.
• Maintenance: High heat and chemicals in dishwashers may change the metallic shimmer or glossiness over time; hand washing is recommended.
• Safety: Protective equipment (gloves, apron) should be used during application, and keep away from fire sources.
• Storage: Store airtight and away from direct sunlight. If the product starts to dry out, add water and strain before use.
