Glaze - Mayco / Mayco Micro Stoneware Glazes



Mayco Micro Stoneware Glazes


What are Micros?
Micro's are short for microcrystalline, a glaze that develops small crystallization from the zinc and silica during the cooling process.
Micros do not actually contain a glass crystal like other Mayco Stoneware crystal glazes; rather, the glaze creates the effect during the firing process.
These glazes can be fired from cones 5-10, but the crystallization may not form at higher temperatures.
With the exception of Micro Pearl, the micros are not dinnerware safe due to surface durability.
We recommend using micros on the outside of dinnerware, below the lip line, or on decorative wares.
