Colorobbia Terra Bella Reactive Glazes

Colorobbia Terra Bella reactive glazes are low-fire ceramic glazes inspired by natural colour and surface variation. They are designed to create reactive pottery glaze effects at 950–1000°C, giving ceramic pieces a high-fire look without needing a stoneware firing.

Terra Bella glazes can be used on their own or layered with other glazes to create varied matt, satin or high-gloss finishes. Results change by colour, coat thickness, glaze combination and firing conditions, so each finished piece can have its own texture, movement and character.

Terra Bella Glaze Guide

  • Glaze type: specialised reactive ceramic glazes
  • Firing temperature: 950–1000°C

High-gloss colours include HC551, HC552, HC553, HC554, HC558, HC562, HC563, HC564, HC565, HC566, HC567, HC568, HC569, HC570 and HC574. Matt and satin colours include HC555, HC556, HC557, HC559, HC571, HC572, HC573 and HC578.

Terra Bella colours can be layered to create more reactive surfaces. Egyptian Blue reacts strongly underneath Reactive White, while other blues can react with Reactive White to create smaller circular patterns. Rustic Brown is formulated for use over or under other Terra Bella glazes to create a rusty, weathered effect and should be used as one coat only.

Terra Bella works in harmony with other Colorobbia glazes and can be combined with compatible colours for more dramatic results. For a narrower reactive stoneware top-coat range, compare with Studio Line Vibes Reactive glazes.

Note: Reactive glaze results vary by colour, layering, application thickness and firing conditions. Test combinations before using them on important pieces.
