(KI) Kiln Ice Pints

Kiln Ice Glazes are a stunning glaze series inspired by the timeless beauty of Guan Ware, a revered ceramic tradition from the Southern Song dynasty. These glazes capture the signature crackle effect, offering a rich, dynamic surface that enhances both form and texture, especially with brown or buff clays.

Unique Patterns |  Variety of Colors |  Cone 5 - 6  

KI -11 Snow Drift is a diffused, milky white glaze.

KI-18 Arctic Blush is a pastel pink glaze, with a delicate, milky quality.

KI-21 Winter Glass is a pastel, frosty blue.

KI-27 Glacial Lake is a vibrant, blue-green hue.

KI-68 Honey Crystal is a warm, golden, and buttery yellow color.

The Kiln Ice glazes are modeled after traditional Guan or Snowflake glazes. They feature a delicate network of fine hairline cracks (known as “crazing”). Kiln Ice glazes are translucent, but become slightly opaque where the cracks form, creating a beautiful, multi-layered visual texture. Differences in glaze application and firing technique may affect end results.

These glazes are food safe, but due to durability, they are not recommended for food surfaces. Due to variations in raw materials used during manufacturing, we recommend firing glazed test tiles before using each new batch number of glaze.
