Deep Greenish-Black Cone 6 Glaze for Studio Mixing
Metallic Black C6 Pro Series Dry Glaze fires to a soft greenish-black surface with subtle depth and a slight oil-spill sheen in thicker areas. Its dark, shifting character works particularly well on ridged vessels, sculptural pottery and contemporary forms where highlights can catch raised edges without losing the strength of a near-black finish.
Choose Metallic Black when you want more depth and colour movement than a flat black glaze, while keeping the finished palette dark and understated. Test the glaze thickness on the intended clay body before full-scale use, as heavier applications can strengthen the sheen and variations in clay and firing may alter the final response.
- Dry format allows studios to prepare working batches as required
- Add a suitable brushing medium such as Veegum T when adapting the mixed glaze for brush application
- Dinnerware producers should test finished work to assess suitability for its intended use
