BOTZ Stoneware Glazes for High-Fire Colour & Effects

BOTZ stoneware glazes showing a selection of fired ceramic colours and effects including glossy, matt, speckled, crackle and reactive finishes

BOTZ stoneware glazes offer a varied collection of high-firing colours and decorative effects in convenient 800ml jars. Supplied ready for brush application, the range includes everything from soft matt and satin surfaces to glossy colours, speckled finishes, flowing effects and distinctive crackle glazes, giving potters plenty of scope to create individual fired surfaces.

Application and firing requirements vary between colours. Many BOTZ Stoneware glazes are shown as consistent within a firing range of 1220–1280°C, with some developing their preferred colour or surface effects at particular temperatures such as 1250°C. The recommended number of coats, soak time, running behaviour, fired finish and tableware suitability can also differ, so always follow the instructions shown on the individual glaze product page.

Application & Firing Guide

  • Check the individual glaze before application. Many colours use 2–3 coats, but some specify fewer coats, a preferred coat thickness or different application around the base of a piece.
  • Many BOTZ Stoneware glazes are consistent across 1220–1280°C, although the colour, surface and decorative effects can change significantly within this range.
  • Some colours give their preferred result at a particular firing temperature, while others may become more glossy, matt, transparent, speckled or reactive as the firing temperature changes.
  • Running behaviour varies across the range. Some glazes are stated not to run, while others can develop flowing effects or require reduced application at higher temperatures or around the base of vessels.
  • Tableware suitability is glaze-specific. Only use a glaze for tableware where BOTZ specifically identifies that colour as recommended for tableware.
  • Always refer to the individual product description for the relevant application, firing temperature, soak time and special firing guidance before use.
