SP 1385 - Tanzanite Artistic Stoneware Glaze

SP 1385 Tanzanite takes its name from one of the world's rarest and most captivating precious stones. Combining the dignified stance of deep ocean blue with violet and lilac crystal eruptions gathering at the center, this glaze adds a galactic depth to your stoneware forms. Mature at high temperatures (1200-1220°C), its glossy finish and reactive texture transform every piece into a unique work of art.

Technical Data and Application

Artistic Color and Texture Characteristics

The most distinctive feature of the Tanzanite glaze is the interplay of colors created by glaze thickness and kiln atmosphere:

• Base Color: A deep, saturated cobalt blue dominates thin areas and edges.
• Crystal Effect: In recessed areas and thick applications where the glaze pools, artistic lilac/violet granules (effects) intensify on the surface.
• Glossiness: Thanks to the high vitrification rate, the surface offers a smooth and high-gloss finish.

Color Combination Suggestions

You can achieve an artistic balance by combining these mystic transitions of Tanzanite with the following tones:

Care, Safety, and Storage

• Application: The glaze reaches you in a dense form. It can be used directly for brush application; for dipping, add water in a controlled manner for ideal fluidity.
• Maintenance: High heat and chemicals in dishwashers may change the artistic effects or glossiness over time; hand washing is recommended.
• Safety: Protective equipment should be used during application, and it should be kept away from fire sources.
• Storage: Store airtight and away from direct sunlight. If the product dries out while waiting, add water and strain before use.
