Copper Oxide, Red (Cuprous)

Copper Oxide, Red (Cu₂O) is a red or reddish-brown copper oxide used in ceramics as a colorant and flux in glazes. It is particularly effective in reduction firings, producing red, pink, or coppery metallic effects, and is often used in high-fire stoneware and porcelain for unique surface coloration.

Dust can irritate the respiratory system, eyes, and skin. Always wear gloves, a dust mask or respirator, and work in a well-ventilated area.
