Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Micro Pearl is a glossy, semi-opaque white glaze with lilac undertones that breaks over texture. Iridescent micro-crystallization in shades of lilac and pale yellow will develop during the firing process.
Cone 10 reduction : Glaze darkens to blue, purple and white variegation.
TIP: This glaze is stable at 3 coats. Additional coats or increased application thickness may result in movement. We recommend firing our micro glazes to cone 6 oxidation to reach crystalline development. Micro-Pearl achieves a stable, semi-opaque, frosted white result with a pearlescent satin finish when fired to cone 5. Can be used in oxidation or reduction firings. Results may vary.

We recommend firing our micro glazes to cone 6 oxidation to reach crystalline development. Micro-Pearl achieves a stable, semi-opaque, frosted white result with a pearlescent satin finish when fired to cone 5. Can be used in oxidation or reduction firings. Results may vary. The choice of clay body, thickness of application, firing process, and temperature will greatly affect the fired results. Always test your application on your clay body in your kiln environment.
Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or other unpainted tool. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. Crystals will flow more than the base glaze. While the glaze is wet, use your fan brush to redistribute the crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.
