Speedball Mid-Fire Glaze, Teal Agate, 16 Ounce Jar for Pottery and Ceramics

For me this glaze comes out patchy. You need 5-6 layers of it in order to get a solid result. I painted a test tile. The stem is one layer. The left side of the leaf is 2 layers and the right side of the leaf is 3 layers. Fired at cone 6. I needed at least 6 layers for it to come out solid. The result was more matte than I was expecting. It’s okay. But I'm not in love with it. Wouldn’t buy this glaze again.

This doesn’t look anything like the example show in the posting. Too expensive for a small jar that doesn’t give what you paid for

I used 3 coats on the outside of this mug I made. It doesn't quite look the way I thought it would, but I still like it.

The color turned out so pretty

The photo actually looks much better because I took the photo in bright sun. Anyway, I am underwhelmed by this color. It is very matte, and really isn’t a teal. It’s more of a dull, gray teal, instead of a nice , bright teal. Also, the micro crystals didn’t really show up, unless under bright sun. I am going to try and save this piece as it is a gift, and reglaze it with something else, because it is boring the way it is. My advice would be to layer it with another color that has gloss in it to avoid feeling like you wasted your money using it all by itself. Back to the drawing board.

Over all I tend to prefer speedball glazes to most glazes but I can’t seem to get a good look with this one. It comes out very matte even when layered with other glazes and sometimes when used alone can kind of separate and lump up in firing (almost like a gloopy glaze but not as cool). I am, for the record, mixing thoroughly and using 3+ coats, it’s seemingly just this specific glaze.
