AMACO Celadon Brush On Glazes Cone 5/6
Amaco celadon brush-on glazes provide softly tinted surfaces and rich colour over texture. Our range offers shades for carved pottery, decorative pieces and custom colour blends.
Glossy Colour for Carved and Textured Clay
Inspired by traditional celadon finishes, these glazes offer translucent colour with a glossy surface. Pooling in recessed areas can deepen the shade, bringing definition to carved lines, impressed patterns and relief decoration.
On a textured bowl or patterned vase, this variation can make small details more noticeable. Smoother forms offer a different appeal, allowing the glaze’s colour and sheen to complement simple shapes.
Mixing Shades for a Personal Palette
You can blend colours within this range, giving you scope to develop shades beyond the individual jars. Combine neighbouring hues for subtle variations or experiment with different combinations to create a new tone.
This flexibility suits potters creating coordinated collections, from softly coloured vessels to decorative pieces with bolder accents.
Firing Range and Glaze Colour Results
These brush-on glazes are intended for cone 5–6 firing. The pictured examples show results on white clay fired in oxidation, providing a reference for comparing shades across the collection.
Because the finish allows the underlying body to show through, clay colour can influence its appearance. Application and firing conditions may also affect colour depth and how strongly texture stands out.
Natural variations in raw materials and changes to formulations can introduce differences between batches. Treat colour samples as a guide to the finish, not an exact match for every firing.
