Mayco’s Stoneware Specialty glazes were developed for special effects and surface depth.
Magma and Mudcrack create a raised surface texture that adds tactility to the decoration. Crackle White and Crackle Matte Clear create a crackled pattern that has traditionally been used to create a vintage or antique appeal.
Cone 6 (first image): Light Flux is a translucent cream color when used alone. Cone 10 (second image): The increase in temperature will cause more movement. Cone 6 (third image): Dark Flux is a translucent brown color when used alone. Cone 10 (fourth image): The increase in temperature will cause more movement. TIP: Chip shown over SW-119 Cinnabar.

Cone 6 oxidation (first image): Light Magma is a sand-colored, high-texture glaze that creates a rough, cratered surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be. Cone 10 reduction (second image): Texture slightly flattens. Color changes to a cream/gray. Cone 6 oxidation (third image): Dark Magma is a charcoal-colored, high-texture glaze that creates a rough, cratered surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be. Cone 10 reduction (fourth image): Texture slightly flattens. No change in color.

Cone 6 oxidation (first image): Crackle White is a bright white gloss glaze that develops a fine crackle pattern. Works well on stoneware and porcelain bodies and produces crackle patterns at midrange temperatures. Use India ink to highlight or accentuate crackle patterns. Cone 10 reduction (second image): Turns an orange-brown and pools white in texture when thick. The glaze does not crackle. Cone 6 oxidation (third image): Crackle Matte Clear is a soft matte, semi-transparent glaze that develops a fine crackle pattern. Cone 10 reduction (fourth image): No Change. TIP: A minimum of two coats are needed to develop a crackle pattern. To highlight the crackle pattern, after firing, wipe black acrylic or ink over the ware and wipe off, allowing the ink to fill the cracks.
$13.00 - $13.25
Cone 6 oxidation (First image): White Mudcrack is a high-texture glaze that forms a raised, cracked surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be. Cone 10 reduction (Second image): Texture flattens, color remains white. Cone 6 oxidation (third image): Black Mudcrack is a high-texture glaze that forms a raised, cracked surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be. Cone 10 reduction (fourth image): Texture flattens, color remains black.

Mayco’s Stoneware glaze assortment, including Classic, Matte, Crystal, and Gloss, offers a variety of finishes, textures and endless possibilities for glaze combinations. Available in both liquid and dry.
One of the most distinctive traits of Mayco’s Stoneware is that the glazes provide consistent performance and intriguing visual interest. They are best known for being receptive and favorable to the user during both application and firing. Mayco Stoneware glazes are friendly to the user in application, layering and firing. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colors and shades. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired results.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues a series of Compliance Policy Guides (CPG) that explain policy on regulatory issues related to the FDA laws or regulations, primarily “Food Safe”. Specific to ceramic products and supplies:
“Food safe” seems to be one of the most confusing concepts for ceramic studios. It can be used differently among manufacturers, which lends to the confusion. There are some dissimilarities in how we ceramic manufacturers use definitions of food safe, dinnerware safe and other safety related information. Following is Mayco’s approach:
The AP (Approved Product) Seal identifies art materials are certified in a toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans, including children, or to cause acute or chronic health problems as a wet glaze. Such products are certified by ACMI to be labeled in accordance with the chronic hazard labeling standard, ASTM D 4236, and the U. S. Labeling of Hazardous Art Materials Act (LHAMA).
The CL (Cautionary Labeling) Seal identifies products that are certified to be properly labeled in a program of toxicological evaluation by a medical expert for any known health risks and with information on the safe and proper use of these materials as a wet glaze. CL products are NOT suitable for children 12 and under.
Products bearing the Certified Non-Toxic seal have been reviewed by a toxicologist & deemed to have no health risk associated with the proper use of the product.
Products bearing the Food Safe icon have been regulation and defined by the Compliance Policy Guide, maintained by the FDA. We have conducted testing on the individual glaze (or similar in formulation), which has passed standards for food safety when used according manufacturer’s direction.
Glazes identified with the Dinnerware Safe icon indicate the fired surface meets the FDA guidelines for food safe and is suitable for use on dinnerware.
Glazes identified with this version of the Dinnerware Safe icon indicate the fired surface is NOT safe for use on dinnerware.
Glazes identified with this version of the Dinnerware Safe icon indicate the fired surface is safe for use on dinnerware after a clear glaze or other dinnerware safe glaze is applied and fired.
