Mayco Stoneware Crystal Glaze - Shipwreck, Pint

I'm new to ceramics. Experimenting with clay that fell out of the creek bank and a microwave kiln. I'm making very small items - tealight holders, hanging decorations, flower frogs etc. Using a 900W microwave and bisque firing for 15 minutes. My wild clay fires to a dark terra cotta. This glaze is working well on the plain bisque. Fire on "high" for 35 minutes, this glaze comes out just like the picture on the jar. Lovely, intriguing colors. Couldn't be happier.

I did three coats that I thought were thick enough but evidently not. I'm going to try it again and do really heavy coats and see if it turns out more dramatic. This wasn't exciting but maybe it was my fault. I will post again after my next attempt.

Ship wreck glaze fired to cone 6 needs about 4-5 coats. Very cool glaze with the crystals adding a pop of color!

This isn't a low-fire glaze, so complaining that it's matte when underfired is just a rookie mistake, since basically every glaze is matte when underfired.This glaze is great, nice color and good contrast between the crystals and base glaze. Looks solid even without a slow cool.

Gorgeous blues. So lovely

Consistent results at cone 5 and is stable. Doesn't run much.I will use it again.

Shipwreck is a gorgeous glaze and looks great at Cone 10. I love Mayco glazes!!
