Metallic Dark Brown Glaze with Copper-Red Pooling
Copper Flare C6 Pro Series Dry Glaze develops a metallic surface that breaks to dark brown across raised areas and gathers into coppery red pools. This contrast gives ridged vessels, carved decoration and textured pottery a varied fired surface, with the sheen changing across contours rather than appearing as a single flat brown.
Choose Copper Flare when you want warmer metallic movement and darker breaks instead of the even coverage of a conventional brown gloss glaze. Clay body, application thickness, layering and firing can affect the balance between the brown and copper tones, so establish the preferred result before committing to a larger studio batch.
- Use textured test pieces to assess the dark breaks and copper-toned pooling
- Test layered combinations before applying them to larger or important work
- Keep a fired reference tile to help compare future studio batches
