A deep dark purple. Great on its own as a base or accent color, the Mulberry is a Texas Two-Step undercoat, and will create oilspot effects when covered with one of the overcoats.
The Texas Two-Step Oilspots are a specialized series that use pairs of glazes to create unique effects. Anywhere that one of the five overcoats is laid on top of Licorice, Coffee Bean, or Brick Red, a stunning spotted pattern will appear during firing. Thicker applications lead to bigger spots. Try using wax resist after the first layer to create negative space designs.
Beautiful in their own right, each of these Two-Step glazes interacts with the others to create strikingly gorgeous effects. Every undercoat can be combined with any overcoat in varying thicknesses to produce spectacular results that resemble the colorful mottling of an oil slick.
APPLICATION: Dip once or brush two to three coats of your selected undercoat onto your bisqueware, and once dry, apply three coats of the overcoat of your choice. At Cone 6 oxidation, the opaque glazes react to each other in unique ways, causing the top coat to recede in areas and reveal glimpses of the brilliant glaze beneath. The thicker the glaze, the greater the interaction. When fired properly, the glossy finish is food safe.
All Coyote liquid glazes are non-toxic under proposed use conditions (brushing, pouring, and dipping). All of our glazes are lead free, most are cadmium free; however none of these glazes should be taken internally as they contain ingredients not suitable for ingestion or inhalation. All Coyote glazes contain quartz (silica), and some contain cobalt, chromium and cadmium. We do not recommend that the glazes be used for spraying, as that would increase the risk of inhalation.
| Food Safety |
| Currently the only materials that are regulated by the FDA regarding food safety in ceramic glazes are lead and cadmium. All Coyote glazes are lead free, and those containing cadmium (in the form of inclusion stains) have in our testing passed FDA cadmium release guidelines when properly fired. Because of the many variables in every studio, we cannot guarantee that your ware will be safe for food use. Firing temperature, interaction between different glazes or underglazes, or possible contamination can all affect the food safety of your work. Potters making ware for food use must test their own work to determine its dinnerware status. We recommend that ware produced for sale be tested by the potter at an approved laboratory before it is marketed.
