Bright Green Earthenware Engobe for Fresh Sgraffito Detail
Bright Green BOTZ Earthenware Engobe creates a fresh light-green surface with an earthy matt character when left without overglazing. The colour gives decorative motifs a lively background without overpowering finer detail; pale linework produces a softer contrast, while darker outlines stand out more strongly against the green surface.
Sgraffito can be used to cut lines and patterns through the coloured engobe, making the surface itself part of the decoration. Slightly diluted engobe is also suited to marbling on soaked biscuit-fired or leather-hard clay for more fluid pattern, while a thin transparent overglaze increases the colour intensity when a brighter result is preferred.
