Mayco Stoneware Crystal (Dry)
Mayco's Stoneware Crystal glazes are a unique line, containing colourful crystals that are designed to melt and bloom during the firing process. These crystals add variation in colour, finish and movement to the glazes that you already know and love. Each one of Mayco's Stoneware Crystal glazes begins with a base which can be found across our other glaze lines. You can find the information about the base glazes of all our Stoneware Crystal glazes on the label. Browse our full range of crystal glazes below.

Mayco's crystal range offers eye-catching results every time. With colourways ranging from deep blues to forest greens, the selection of glazes invites experimentation and rewards creativity. Whether you're looking to enhance a piece or add drama to decorative work, these Cone 6 to Cone 10 stoneware glazes provide dynamic results every time.
Applying and Pouring Stoneware Crystal Dry Glazes
For fast glazing and flowing effects, we recommend using Mayco’s Stoneware Crystals Dry mix glazes (SDs). Due to the heavy crystals settling to the bottom of the jar or mixing utensil, we recommend mixing thoroughly and pouring the mixed glazes onto your piece with a pour container or pitcher. Over-application in the same area may cause crystals to fall off.
Applying the glaze with a fan brush can help with thickness management and ensure even coverage. For lighter crystal effects, reduce the number of coats. Fired results will vary based on kiln atmosphere, the shape of the project and the amount of glaze, offering true creative magic.
