PC- 9 Vintage Gold
Vintage Gold is a specialty glaze that can give dramatic metallic crystalline results when used correctly. Below find suggestions for the best results.
​
HOW IT WORKS:
Vintage Gold is a glossy metallic glaze which develops small triangular gold crystals with dark haloes like a glittering patina. This opaque glaze does not break over texture. ​
A dramatic glaze for sculptural or non-functional work.
LET'S FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG.
STILL NOT GETTING ACCURATE RESULTS? LET'S TALK BISQUE
#1 APPLICATION
Thickness of application can affect the appearance of the metallic glaze. If the glaze is translucent or dark with no crystal growth it may be too thin.
#2 BISQUE TEMPERATURE
The temperature to which your ware was bisqued can have an affect on the final piece. We recommend a bisque between cone 08 and cone 03, though a bisque as low as cone 010 will work.
LETS TALK CLAY BODIES
#3 CLAY BODY
The metallics do best on a clay body that isn’t fully vitrified in the glaze firing. Clay body color doesn’t seem to make a difference.
