Spectrum Shino Glazes (Cone 5)
Spectrum Shino Glazes offer a mid-range temperature range, allowing you to discover the beauty of traditional shino effects. Designed to fire at Cone 5–6 (1180–1230°C), these expressive glazes recreate the warm tones, breaks, and surface variation of classic shino ware while providing the convenience of a modern brush-on glaze. Layering different Spectrum shinos together creates especially striking results, with nuanced transitions and subtle variations unique to every piece.

Gorgeous Shinos from Spectrum
Spectrum Shino Glazes offer a wide range of warm, atmospheric colours, from Ahi, Aubergine, and Blue Oyster to vibrant tones like Saffron, Citron, Wasabi, and Guacamole. Designed for easy application, these glazes brush smoothly onto bisque, building character with every coat. They break beautifully over edges, encouraging contrasting tones and subtle highlights. For best results, apply two to three generous coats and vary the thickness to explore a range of classic shino effects.
Each colour develops depth and character across contours and textured clay. The glazes are lead-free and dinnerware-safe.
