AMACO Velvet Underglaze | V-381 Amethyst

Amethyst is a deep grape colour that is vivid at cone 05, darkens at cone 5, and becomes a deep violet and begins to lose its colour slightly at cone 10. A clear glaze deepens the colour of the underglaze significantly at any temperature.

AMACO Velvet Underglazes offer saturated colour, excellent coverage, and reliable results. They're as easy to use for beginners and students as they are for professional ceramicists and artists working with clay. Velvets fire true-to-colour from cone 05/06 and most can be fired up to cone 10.

Key Features:

• Strong, saturated colour (three coats suggested for full coverage)
• Firing range: Cone 05 – Cone 10
• Suitable for application on greenware/unfired clay or bisque
• Two beautiful finishes depending on glaze cover:
  • A subtle textured velvet-matte surface when left unglazed
  • Intensified colour and a brilliant glassy finish under a clear glaze
• Food safe when sealed with a suitable glaze
• Mixable with other colours in the range
• Suitable for spray application

Safety Information:

Tableware producers should test all finished ware to confirm food safety, as results may vary due to firing conditions or surface contamination.

Due to variations in raw materials used during manufacturing, we recommend firing glazed test tiles before using each new batch number of glaze.
