About this glaze
Indigo Float is a deep cobalt blue with a paler blue float drifting across the surface, breaking to a darker blue on edges and texture where the coat is thinner. AMACO counts it among its stable, beginner-friendly glazes that stay put instead of running onto the kiln shelf, and says three coats bring out the best color; a thin coat can fire gray or greenish. It fires to cone 5-6, looks good on smooth or textured ware, and is a dependable partner for layering with other Potter's Choice glazes. Brush it straight from the pint jar. Carries the ACMI AP seal and AMACO's Food Safe seal.
