## Overview

Penguin Pottery’s Glossy Opaque White glaze is a mid to high fire ceramic glaze (Cone 5-6) designed for both mid and high fire clays. It delivers unique tonal variations and effects that evolve with firing conditions, offering a glossy, opaque white finish that enhances clay textures and colored slips. This lead-free, non-toxic, and food-safe glaze requires kiln firing and is backed by a lifetime warranty, making it a trusted choice for professional and creative potters seeking dynamic, high-quality results.

## Description

Penguin Pottery’s glazes offer a huge range of effects to choose from: vivid, bright, smooth, glossy, textured, satin, matte; opaque, semi-opaque, semi-translucent, translucent, flowing, non-flowing. Our low fire glazes are perfect for school projects, classrooms, studios, and potters who do not fire at high temperature. These low fire glazes are the potter’s choice when looking for a wide palette of colors, like celadon, lively reds, deep greens, bright blues. Our mid fire glazes offer similar ranges but also introduce interesting effects and tonality not available in low fire glazes. Our glazes are lead-free, non-toxic and food safe (when properly fired and tested). Make sure to shake the jar well before using, and do not allow it to freeze. Try them out and let us know what you think!

Review: Not as advertised, it is NOT glossy. I just fired a whole classrooms worth load with this glaze and it was the biggest mistake of my teaching career (tip: test stuff because the kiln is unpredictable)
Review: Love this glaze!! Looks amazing over speckled clay. Enhances the speckle while still making the clay appear mostly white. Also lets colored slip / englob show its color, but very muted through the white. It’s a perfect blend of solid white and clear shiny glaze. … Also, shakes up well and brushes on nicely.

## Features

- Our mid fire glazes offer similar ranges to our low fire glazes, but also introduce interesting effects and tonality not available in low fire glazes.
- One of the fascinating aspects of ceramics is the slight variations we can achieve by using different clay bodies, glaze types and firing methods. It's like vintage film photography - you don't know what it'll look like until you get it out of the kiln! That is why ceramics is an art! We recommend you experiment with different approaches and, most importantly, embrace the uncertainty. You will have a lot of fun seeing different results!
- Glazes will react differently (and look different) depending on several factors, including: (a) the temperature at which they're fired: even small changes in temperature can lead to different outcomes; (b) the clay body on which the glaze is applied: the same glaze will look different if applied to a darker vs. lighter clay; (c) the speed at which your kiln reaches the target temperature; and (d) how much oxygen is in the kiln's atmosphere while firing. Test before applying.
- Our glazes are lead-free, non-toxic and food safe (when properly fired and tested). Make sure to shake the jar well before using, and do not allow it to freeze. Must be fired in a ceramic kiln. Will not work if fired in a kitchen oven.
- Please note that your fired glaze may look different from the product image because glazes react differently to different firing techniques and clay bodies..All Penguin Pottery products are backed by our Lifetime Warranty. See warranty & support section for more information.
