Topaz

#443 Topaz

A unique gloss to semi-gloss gold (depending on clay body) with breaking purples and browns. Topaz Oribe is beautiful on its own, and works extremely well as a modifier over other glazes (typically it will not cause running). It is ideal for highlighting textures on your piece's surface. It's multi-dimensional color changes with the color of the clay body and method of firing. Dinnerware, microwave and oven-safe when applied appropriately and fired to Cone 6 (oxidation or reduction). Firing in reduction (gas) tends to bring out more purple in the glaze.

Application tips: Apply one (1) dipped coat or 2-3 brushed coats on clay that has been bisque-fired to Cone 04 (glaze application should be approximately the thickness of a dime). We always recommend rinsing your bisqueware with clean water a few minutes prior to glazing. This will encourage better glaze adhesion and a smoother application. Always allow adequate drying time between coats or layering glazes.
