Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Mint Speck is a satin-matte, semi-opaque mint green that breaks over texture. Contains small purple, orange and yellow specks. This glaze is highly stable.
Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): Changes to a glossy, transparent pale blue. Specks blur and lose definition with increased application thickness. Remains stable.
Tips:
Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thickness is the key to making mattes work for you.
Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
