About this glaze
Smokey Merlot fires to a deep, warm purple, with a gentle lilac float settling over the top. It looks good on smooth forms, picks up detail on textured ones, and layers well with other Potter's Choice glazes, from a single color on a vase to bands on a cup. It fires to cone 5-6 and gives a reduction-style look from an oxidation firing. Brush it straight from the pint jar. Carries the ACMI AP seal and AMACO's Food Safe seal.
