Ceramingo SG 1514 Manyas - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R22536)

SG 1514 Manyas - Ceramingo Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SG 1514 Manyas is a reactive artistic high-fire glaze that brings the natural textures of Lake Manyas and the tranquil color palette of its bird sanctuary to pottery surfaces. Natural variegation and mineral transitions developing across the surface give every piece organic depth and a handcrafted character. Its satin-gloss finish makes it ideal for serene, modern, and nature-inspired collections.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The natural, tranquil, and mineral character of Manyas glaze can be paired with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Product preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the reactive components and pigments evenly throughout the liquid. Stirring again at regular intervals during application is recommended.
• Brush application: The product can be applied directly over a clean and dry bisque surface. Apply in even coats to support the natural variegation characteristic of Manyas, and allow each coat to dry completely.
• Application thickness: A moderate and even thickness supports the development of mineral transitions and the satin-gloss surface effect. Reactive variegation may appear weaker when applied too thinly, while excessively thick application may increase glaze movement.
• Pouring and dipping: For these methods, the consistency can be adjusted by adding approximately 5-10% water. Water should be added gradually while preserving the glaze coverage.
• Clay body effect: Colors may appear lighter and fresher on white high-fire and porcelain clay bodies. On grogged, dark, or textured clay bodies, the reactive components may concentrate in recessed areas, creating a more natural and mineral-like surface.
• Form and texture: The glaze may collect at different thicknesses across raised, recessed, and textured surfaces. This emphasizes the details of the form and creates distinctive transitions on every piece.
• Firing and cooling: Peak temperature, hold time, kiln atmosphere, and cooling rate may alter the distribution of the variegation, color tone, and surface gloss.
• Vertical forms: Because the reactive glaze may move during firing, a thinner and more controlled application is recommended near the base. Keep the glaze away from areas where it could come into contact with the kiln shelf.
• Storage: Keep the product in its airtight, sealed packaging, away from direct sunlight, and at room temperature.
• Safety: Appropriate protective equipment should be used during application, and the product should be stored out of reach of children.
