Seramiksir S 1709 Meteor Drop - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze (R24729)

S 1709 Meteor Drop - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

S 1709 Meteor Drop is an artistic low-fire glaze that creates midnight blue, metallic gray, and dark reactive transitions across the surface. As the application thickness increases, its metallic highlights and surface movement become more pronounced. Its highly fluid character gives decorative pottery forms a dramatic, deep, and varied appearance.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The metallic and dark character of Meteor Drop glaze can be paired with the following tones:

Application Notes

• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Brush Application: The glaze can be applied directly to a clean, dry bisque surface. Three coats are recommended to achieve a finish similar to the visual sample.
• Drying Between Coats: Allow the surface to dry before applying the next coat. Apply each coat in a different direction for a more even distribution.
• Dipping and Spray Application: Depending on the application method, 5-10% water may be added gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Flow Character: This glaze has high flow. Thick applications may increase the risk of the glaze running downward and onto the kiln shelf.
• Metallic Effect: Application thickness, firing temperature, and cooling conditions may alter the intensity of the metallic highlights.
• Unglazed Base Margin: Leave a sufficient unglazed area at the base of vertical forms to reduce the risk of the glaze running onto the kiln shelf.
• Clay Body Selection: Metallic blue and gray transitions may appear more pronounced on white clay bodies, while dark or colored clay bodies may produce deeper results.
