Layered Blue Crystalline Effects for Cone 6 Ceramics
Lapis Lazuli C6 Pro Series Crystalline Glaze develops a muted blue ground with brighter blue crystal formations and warm olive-toned variation around the rim and edges. The coordinated blue-on-blue surface suits tall vessels, broad panels and simple ceramic forms where the glaze can provide the main decorative detail.
Choose Lapis Lazuli when you want visible crystal growth within a cohesive blue palette rather than a sharply contrasting crystalline effect. The balance of colour, crystal size and glaze movement responds to application thickness, clay body and firing conditions, so test the complete combination before important work and follow the supplied firing schedule.
- Use a glaze catcher or sacrificial support because crystalline glazes can run during firing
- Record the clay body, application thickness and firing programme when testing to compare crystal development
- Add Powder Gum Arabic as required when a thicker application consistency is needed

|
|
Firing process
|
Fire to Cone 6, then drop to approximately Cone 04 to allow the crystalline structure to develop
|
|
Surface response
|
Thicker areas can develop larger zinc silicate crystals and greater glaze movement; thinner applications produce a more matt surface
