Greenish-Black Cone 6 Glaze with Subtle Metallic Depth
Metallic Black C6 Pro Series Dry Glaze fires to a soft greenish-black surface with subtle depth and a slight oil-spill sheen where the application is thicker. The dark, shifting finish works especially well on ridged vessels, sculptural pottery and contemporary forms, where raised edges can catch the cooler green-blue variation while recessed areas remain close to black.
Choose Metallic Black when you want more tonal movement than a flat black glaze without moving into a brightly reactive or strongly variegated finish. Test the mixed glaze on the intended clay body before larger use, as application thickness and firing conditions can change the strength of the sheen and the balance between black and greenish tones.
- Prepare working quantities as required for test batches or regular studio use
- Use test tiles to compare thickness, layering and fired surface response
- Add a suitable brushing medium such as Veegum T when adapting the mixed glaze for brush application
