Mayco Elements Chunkies Glaze - EL207 - Gold Mine - 4 Ounce Jar

The name of this glaze and the picture displayed with it, imply that the inclusions are gold, but the description on the jar states that some of the inclusions are green. They are blue/green. Not gold, as the name implies. I am disappointed. The sample picture of the fired glaze shows a lot of gold, but that is not what my ceramics turned out to be. I do not recommend this glaze, if you want gold splashes.

Mine turned into a solid clump of material with a pool of cloudy water at the top (think school book depictions of the layers of the earth). I still use the water (I have to refresh it occasionally) to glaze pieces because I can get a very nice beige/gold look (its hard to see the cold color in the pic). It gives a nice, more organic and subtle base skin color to some of my snake sculptures. This is on longhorn white clay, so it probably wouldn't look as nice on red earth clay or anything dark.

This glaze did not turn out as expected. Maybe too low a temp (Cone 06), but it does not look gold.

Looks nothing like this. It looks like beige. Not pretty.

I have used it a couple of times. So far the results are very interesting. I like!

Left was fired at 06, and right is after it was refired to 6.
