- Stoneware crackle was developed for mid-range firing temperatures where a fine crackle pattern will develop with 2-3 coats.
CONE 5/6 OXIDATION:
- Crackle White is a bright white gloss glaze that develops a fine crackle pattern. Works well on stoneware and porcelain bodies and produces crackle patterns at midrange temperatures. Use India ink to highlight or accentuate crackle patterns.
CONE 10 REDUCTION:
- Turns an orange-brown and pools white in texture when thick. The glaze does not crackle.
* Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction.
- The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
Crackle White
Tips:
* Crackle White is a bright white gloss glaze that develops a fine crackle pattern at mid-range firing temperatures.
* To highlight the crackle pattern, after firing, wipe black acrylic or ink over the ware and wipe off, allowing the ink to fill the cracks.
* Stoneware crackle was developed for mid-range firing temperatures where a fine crackle pattern will develop with 2-3 coats.
* The thickness of the glaze and the cooling rate will affect the crackle formation.
* We recommend you start with three brushed-on coats and use a medium firing program.
* Crackle pattern works best with a thicker application.

Usage Variations and FAQs
Are Mayco’s Stoneware glazes Food Safe and Dinnerware Safe?
- All of Mayco’s Stoneware glazes are both Food Safe when used according to manufacturer’s directions and Dinnerware Safe with the exception of SW-132 Mirror Black, SW-182 Antique Brass, our Stoneware Texture glazes (SW-403 through SW-406), and our Stoneware Washes when used alone (SW-301 through SW-305). There is a factor of personal discretion when considering the use of any glaze on a surface that comes in contact with food. Some factors such as clay body, firing temperature, firing atmosphere, and the layering of glazes also contribute to the suitability of a ware for dinnerware use. It is the responsibility of the customer to practice practical consideration of these factors and observe how they affect the final fired surface.
Can Mayco Specialty Glazes be fired to cone 10?
- Yes the can. Some will change significantly, some not much. Best we can do is provide this visual gallery and let you see what each glaze can do at cone 10 reduction. Cone 10 color performance can also be found on the left side of the stoneware glaze label. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired results. Due to variability, we recommend testing prior to application to artwork.
Do Mayco’s Specialty glazes work well in combination?
- All of our Stoneware Specialty glazes can be layered with other glazes. There will be a reasonable variance in the finish, color, and texture. As always, we recommend testing glazes with your preferred application, clay body, and firing temperature.
