About
Toffee Caramel Stoneware 164-TOFF | Recommended firing range 1200-1300C (Cone 6-11)*
Caramel stoneware clay with 40% fine grog 0-0.2 mm (up to 80 Mesh). Formulated for artistic ceramics, it is ideal for throwing and modelling smooth pieces with fine details. It behaves excellently during drying and firing. Depending on the firing temperature, it develops a beautiful range of natural tones, from oatmeal beige to caramel brown, which create a warm base that is highly appreciated in ceramic decoration. Suitable for tableware (food-safe), according to ISO 6486. Supplied in a 12.5kg bag
Indicative texture 1-2 (Smooth 1-Coarse 10).
