Mayco’s line of Stoneware Glazes are available in a beautiful array of colors, tints and tones. They were developed to perform from mid-range (cone 4/6) to higher fire (cone 9/10) temperatures. These glazes work well on both stoneware and porcelain and are designed so that they do not run. Most of Mayco’s Stoneware Glazes are available in pre-mixed pints, as well as a dry mix.

Mayco’s Stoneware Glazes should be applied to bisqued ceramic pieces. If dipping, one coat of glaze is sufficient. Use 2-3 coats if brushing or spraying, allowing glaze to thoroughly dry in between each layer of application. The glazes can be fired from cone 4/6 to cone 9/10 in oxidation or reduction atmospheres. If using dry mixes, no sieving is necessary but it is recommended that the dry materials be mixed before adding water, in case some of the materials have settled in the bag. The ratio of water added to dry mix is approximately 1 pint of water (16 oz.) to 1 pound of dry glaze. Premixed glazes should be stirred well before being applied to pots or other ceramic wares.

The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired results. We recommend that glazes always be tested on your clay body.

Cone 6 results: 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: Changes to a glossy, transparent pale blue. Specks blur and lose definition with increased application thickness. Remains stable.

Tip: Mint Speck uses SW135 Wintergreen as the base glaze. We recommend firing our matte glazes to cone 6 to produce a satin matte finish. Upon opening, specks will be concentrated in the bottom of the bottle. Stir/shake thoroughly to incorporate before each use.
