Duncan Crystals Glazes

Duncan Crystal Glazes are nontoxic gloss glazes that contain glaze crystals that melt and flow during the firing. Each of the Crystal Glazes are different, some glazes contain crystals of just one color, while others contain several different colored crystals. These glazes are nontoxic, but should never be considered dinnerware safe as crazing may develop due to the presence of the glaze crystal. Available in 21 total colors.
All Duncan Crystal Glazes are available in both 4 oz and 16 oz bottles. Dogwood Ceramic Supply stocks all available sizes and colors.

Crystal™ Glazes consist of a base glaze, that matches an Envision™ Glaze in color, with various colored crystals added. When fired these crystals produce unique results every time. As shown on the vase above, Crystal Glazes can move during the firing. The amount of movement depends upon the size of the individual crystal, the slope of the piece, as well as the firing temperature.

All Crystal™ Glazes are rated nontoxic, however only CR 905 Blueberries is considered dinnerware safe. The other Crystal™ Glazes are not considered dinnerware safe as the crystals in the glaze may cause crazing (fine spider-web cracks in the glaze surface), which also means that Crystal™ Glazes are not recommended for the interior of a vessel that may contain water. On the interior of a vase it is recommended that the matching Envision™ Glaze is used to maintain waterproof food safety.

Crystal™ Glazes are a very versatile decorative glaze. Crystal™ Glazes may be used in conjunction with other Crystal™ Glazes, or in combination with satin or other gloss glazes.

1. Stir product thoroughly to suspend the crystals that may have settled at the bottom of the jar. Note: Mixing instructions depend upon the crystal size, refer to the jar label for complete instructions.

2. Apply 3 flowing coats to shelf cone 04 bisque. Keep larger crystals sparse on the sides near the bottom of the piece to prevent the crystals from flowing off the piece and onto the kiln furniture. Keep all crystals off the bottom of the ware, or edges of boxes to prevent an uneven bottom.

3. Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06. Allow slightly more space between pieces in the kiln as some bubbling of the crystals may occur during the firing.
