Cone 06-04 LEAD FREE

No two pieces glazed with AMACO Textured Alligator Glazes are ever alike due to the many variations in texture which occur in firing. Variegated matt textures predominate at the lower firing temperatures and gloss textures at the higher with a mingling of matt and gloss between the extremes.

When applied over red clay, the clay color showing through high relief contrasts or blends with the glaze color, and the entire piece is enriched by the warm undertones.

AMACO LT Alligator Glazes are supplied in liquid, ready to use form in pint jars. They are applied on bisque or greenware by brushing, pouring, or dipping. The firing range is from Cone 06 (1855°F, 1013°C) to Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C), and the recommended firing temperatures are Cone 06-05 (1855°-1911°F, 1013°-1044°C). Category 1 and 4 glazes are leadless and require special treatment due to their short firing range. These glazes must be applied on a mature Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C) bisque then glaze fired to Cone 05 (1911°F, 1044°C).

Jewel Brown is a dark brown and amber aventurine type glaze with infinite depth and gold flecks appearing throughout. It should be brushed very thoroughly to reveal the lovely gold flecks. Firing requires good ventilation. Fire to Cone 06-05 (1855°-1911°F, 1013°-1044°C).
