Seramiksir SP 1514 Manyas - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R24650)

SP 1514 Manyas - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1514 Manyas is a reactive high-fire glaze inspired by the natural textures of Lake Manyas and the tranquil color palette of its renowned bird sanctuary. Natural patterns and mineral transitions develop across the surface, giving each piece organic depth and a handcrafted character. Its satin-gloss finish makes it especially suitable for calm, 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. 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 to enhance the natural patterns characteristic of Manyas, allowing each coat to dry completely.
• Application thickness: A medium and even application supports the development of mineral transitions and the satin-gloss finish. Reactive patterns 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.
• 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 collect in recessed areas, creating a more natural, mineral-like surface.
• Form and texture: The glaze may collect at varying thicknesses across raised, recessed, and textured surfaces. This emphasizes the details of the form and creates unique transitions on every piece.
• Firing and cooling: The peak temperature, hold time, kiln atmosphere, and cooling rate may alter the distribution of the patterns, 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 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.
