About this glaze
Temmoku gives a satin-matte, textured surface in dark brown and tan, flecked with speckle. Its surface is steady and predictable, which is why AMACO recommends it as a liner for cups, bowls and pots, and as a base layer under the more fluid Potter's Choice glazes. It fires to cone 5-6 in the same firing as the rest of the line. Brush it straight from the pint jar. Carries the ACMI AP seal and AMACO's Food Safe seal.
