Deep Brown Cone 6 Glaze with Coffee-Toned Breaks
Espresso C6 Pro Series Dry Glaze fires to a deep brown gloss that becomes warm black where the glaze is thicker, while textured areas and edges on white clay bodies can reveal coffee-bean brown breaks. This tonal movement suits ridged vessels, carved decoration and sculptural forms where darker pools and warmer highlights can define the surface.
Choose Espresso when you want the depth of a near-black glaze with warmer brown variation rather than a flat, uniformly dark finish. Mix the quantity required for your studio and test the prepared glaze on the intended porcelain or stoneware body before important work, as clay body, application thickness, layering and firing conditions can alter the final response.
- Use test tiles with smooth and textured sections to compare the glaze breaks before production work
- Record water additions and application settings to help repeat successful studio batches
