SW191- Peppered Plum

Cone 6 oxidation (large photo): Peppered Plum is a glossy, opaque, burgundy glaze that breaks over texture and develops a warm taupe float; small opaque black crystals are featured with large semi-transparent burgundy crystals.

Cone 10 reduction (small photo): Glaze darkens, and crystals soften. Large crystal shifts to opaque red. Light application recommended.

TIP: SW-113 Speckled Plum is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, apply 1 coat of SW-191 Peppered Plum over 2 coats of SW-113 Speckled Plum. This glaze is stable, even with heavy application. Light application will result in a more homogenous burgundy. Warm taupe float develops and intensifies with glaze thickness.

Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colors and shades. Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful color variations. One coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deeper the color. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish.
