Seramiksir SP 1513 Yenibahar - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R24649)

SP 1513 Yenibahar - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1513 Yenibahar is an artistic high-fire glaze that brings the warm, earthy tones of spices and deep reactive transitions to glazed surfaces. Dark blue and navy flows gather toward the center over a mustard-brown base, giving the surface rich visual depth and a powerful character. Supplied in a ready-to-use liquid form, the product can create different color distributions on every piece depending on the application thickness, clay body, and firing conditions.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The warm, dynamic, and multilayered character of Yenibahar glaze can be paired with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Product preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the pigments and reactive components evenly throughout the liquid. Periodic remixing during application is recommended.
• Brush application: The product can be applied directly to a clean, dry bisque-fired surface. Apply in even coats and allow each coat to dry completely.
• Application thickness: As the number of coats and glaze thickness increase, the mustard-brown base and dark blue flows may become more pronounced. Reactive transitions may appear weaker with very thin applications, while excessive glaze movement may occur with overly thick applications.
• Pouring and dipping: For these methods, the consistency can be adjusted by adding approximately 5-10% water. Add water gradually to preserve the glaze coverage.
• Reactive color development: The distribution of the dark blue and navy flows may vary depending on the peak temperature, hold time, application thickness, and cooling rate.
• Clay body effect: The warm base and blue transitions may appear more pronounced on white and light-colored high-fire clay bodies, while dark or grogged clay bodies may produce a deeper, more mineral-like surface.
• Form and texture: The glaze may collect at varying thicknesses in recessed and raised areas. This can enhance the tonal transitions and details of the form.
• 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 may come into contact with the kiln shelf.
• Storage: Store the product in its tightly sealed original packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
• Safety: Appropriate protective equipment should be used during application, and the product should be stored out of reach of children.
