NEW! PC-4 Palladium

This new cone 5-6 glaze is a brilliant shimmering silver colored metallic. It works well over most body colors and types, and can be used as a full glaze or as a decorative accent. Palladium is highly reflective and breaks a soft green tone over texture.

NEW! PC-41 Verte Lustre

A rich copper green that exhibits subtle float and a very lustrous glow. A slight hint of metallic float makes Verte Lustre have a stunning reflectance. This glaze is beautiful in combination with our TH-1 High Fire Texturizer.

NEW! PC-53 Ancient Jasper

This glaze exudes the beauty and tones of ancient rock. Deep red tones, purples, yellows, browns, and black all intermingle in this exciting new glaze. Textural pieces allow Ancient Jasper to break up into a rainbow of rich tones which look like a combination of many different glazes.
