Botz Pro 9315 Larimar Ceramic Glaze

Botz Pro 9315 Larimar brings turquoise colour and brown speckles to pottery. Higher firing temperatures can stretch the speckles into flowing streaks.

Botz Pro Glazes

Botz Pro is a range of ready-to-use brush-on ceramic glazes with a broad firing range of 1020–1280°C, suitable for both earthenware and stoneware. Their appearance changes with firing temperature. At around 1050°C, colours are generally stronger and almost opaque. At around 1150°C, they retain their colour while becoming more semi-transparent. At around 1250°C, they develop a glossier, glass-like surface with softer, pastel tones. For most colours, Botz recommends 2–3 coats at 1050°C and two coats at around 1150–1250°C. Thick application can cause the glaze to run, especially from 1150°C upwards. The manufacturer recommends the range for tableware, provided the glaze is fired correctly and is compatible with the clay body. Test the result on a sample before glazing finished work.
