Opaque Red Variation for Cone 6 Pottery
Crocus Red C6 Pro Series Glaze fires to an opaque red surface that can range from deep burgundy to brighter apple-red tones. This tonal movement gives cups, bowls and tiles a warm, substantial colour, bringing interest to simple thrown forms and broad glazed areas without relying on one flat shade.
Choose Crocus Red when you want more depth and natural variation than a uniform primary red. Its changing colour suits both single-colour pieces and layered studio tests, while fired samples can help you compare results between batches. Clay body, application and firing conditions may influence where the finished piece sits within the burgundy-to-apple-red range.
- Test on the intended clay body before glazing larger batches
- Compare standalone and layered samples before committing to finished work
- Follow the Pro Series Mixing Guide when preparing the dry powder
