AMACO Potter's Choice | PC-09 Vintage Gold

Vintage Gold is a glossy metallic glaze with a rich, antiqued surface and a dramatic crystalline effect. At cone 5 - 6 it develops small triangular gold crystals surrounded by dark haloes, creating the look of a glittering patina or aged metal finish. This opaque glaze does not break over texture. Best suited to sculptural or decorative ceramic work - Vintage Gold is not considered safe on surfaces coming in contact with food. Apply three even coats for best results, and allow for movement in firing as this glaze may run.

AMACO Potter's Choice glazes are a studio favourite for midfire pottery, offering rich colour, movement and surface variation at cone 5 - 6. Designed to create reduction-style effects in oxidation, this versatile range performs beautifully on both smooth and textured ware, with endless possibilities for layering and glaze combinations. Most colours will also remain stable at higher temperatures.

Key Features:

• Firing range: Cone 5 - 6.
• Suitable for brushing or spray application.
• Great for layering with other glazes.
• Stunning reduction effects in electric kilns.
• Variable results depending on application / layering techniques.
• Vintage Gold is not food safe.

Application:

• Mix glaze thoroughly prior to each use.
• Gently wipe your bisque with a damp sponge to remove any dust or oils. This will help the glaze adhere smoothly.
• Apply three even coats with a soft bristled fan or hake brush, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next. Alternate the direction of brush strokes on each layer. 
• Glaze may be diluted with water, gum solution or brushing medium if it is thicker than desired or has dried out over time.
• When layering, be mindful that some glaze combinations may become more fluid and run during firing.

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.
