Cone 5-6.

Pompeian Ash glazes unique formula produces a wiggly pattern as they flow on the piece which is similar to ash glazes that have to be fired to Cone 10. Because this series is fired to Cone 5-6 in an electric kiln, firing costs are reduced and exposure to toxic materials associated with ash glazes are eliminated.

Apply these glazes by brushing or dipping. Taper down the application to one coat towards the bottom of the piece, to give room for the glaze to run. Fire with a dry foot, on a kiln shelf that has been well coated with AMACO Kiln Shelf Wash. Use stilts or place over a refractory brick to catch any glaze that may overflow. With repeated use of these glazes, you will learn to what extent to taper down to eliminate overflow.

These glazes will work well over any of the AMACO Stoneware or porcelain clays.
