Spectrum Glaze 1153 Texture Cobalt is a lead free but they exceed the vanadium and/or copper threshold limit in the liquid unfired state and therefore are not non-toxic. However, they are all food safe if fired to the proper firing temperature. It's formulated to produce reactions during the firing cycle which give very interesting and beautiful effects. The final appearance of the glaze is dependent on firing temperature, glaze thickness and the composition of the clay body being used. The same glaze can look quite different on different clay bodies. The samples shown on the color charts are 3 brush coats of glaze fired to cone 5 in an electric kiln on a white clay body. Different results should be expected in reduction. Wet glazes are set up for brushing application.
