## Description

AMACO Potter's Choice PC-57 Smokey Merlot High Fire Glaze is a warm, dark purple liquid ceramic pottery glaze with a soft float of lilac over the surface. Apply to Cone 04 bisque, then fire to Cone 5-6. The glaze looks stunning on smooth surfaces, over textured surfaces, and layered with other Potter's Choice glazes. 16 oz. (473 mL) jar. Layerable mid-high fire (Cone 5-6) AMACO Potter's Choice "PC" Glazes are a collection of potters' favorites made easy! Fired in oxidation, they are designed for artists desiring Cone 10 reduction effects without using a reduction gas kiln or firing at high temperatures. Suitable for all AMACO stoneware and porcelain clays. Great for layering with other AMACO Potter’s Choice Glazes, AMACO Celadon "C" Glazes, and AMACO Shino "SH" Glazes. Read labels carefully for best results, as some colors require special applications, such as uneven, thin, or multiple coats of glaze.

Review: You are going to LOVE this glaze - This glaze breaks amazingly well over textured surfaces and creates flowing design patterns when layered with other glazes. It is beautiful on its own but plays really nice when layered with 2-3 other cone 6 glazes, especially Honey Flux and Oatmeal
Review: Gorgeous color for textured surfaces - This is a great glaze for textured surfaces, the more dramatic the difference in textures, the more the luster pops out. Not for flat surfaces at all. But for textured- excellent and dramatic colors
