Gold Glaze for Ceramic Pottery Bisque,PCG01,16fl oz/473ml

Great colour, apply 4 coats, I have fired it at 1220°C in community kiln

Worked well for me! I've only tried it on a small section and applied a thick coating as recommended but I really like the colour 🌟

Beautiful glaze

Pros: Well packaged Big bottle Applies nicely Fires well at cone 7/ 1250°C Gold is beautiful when it works Much cheaper than a lustre and doesn't require a separate firing Doesn't appear to run Cons: Takes at least 4 coats for gold to come through instead of brown. Overview: The piece I applied this to was VERY fiddly. I am fairly sure it had at least 4 coats on the main body, but it's come out brown. Because the piece is round, it was quite difficult to note where I had started/ finished the last coat. I also have a rubbish visual memory so couldn't recall where I had started each time! There was no distinction in the colour between coats, probably particularly as it's a dark brown going on and because it was the inside of the piece I was doing, which was also awkward and restrictive. Those are user error factors, rather than the glaze. It was nice to apply, but the brush got quite sticky regularly, so needed to keep it rinsed out so as not to end up with dry glaze going on and dragging. At the junctions of internal corners, the potential gold lustre is evident, which tells me that on a more simple piece, where application is straightforward, you could get a really lovely finish with this, but I just haven’t achieved it with this one. I'm going to try a different piece next, to see if I get the results I hope for, and I'll update the rating at that point. At this price point, I think it's definitely worth a try. It's cheaper than lustre and the additional firing cost, even if you require several coats. I used it on buff stoneware fired to 1250°C.

I use earthenware so low fibre and this come out as metallic pewter. Still like it but not gold. Thjnk it needs a stoneware firing yo be more gold.

Absolutely god awful glaze. Applies like week old dog crap to a piece of paper. Cracks and flakes whilst drying, stains everything it touches because that much dusty residue comes off it. Can't even get it in the kiln because it comes off the bisque wear so much that you never actually have a fully covered piece. Best suited to those that like wasting their money!

Really good colour. Goes on nice and smoothly. Fires with no bubbles, or mishaps

Big problems with pitting and can’t work out why. Did a standard stoneware glaze to 1220 and one (vertical) piece pitted whilst a flat piece worked well with a lovely gold finish. Altered next firing to a slower ramp up to 1240 with a soak at the end as that seemed to be the general advice to avoid pitting but that was even worse on a mug handle - I also tried reglazing the first piece but it just got worse. Had concluded I might have applied too thickly as it is difficult to monitor on a handle but everyone else is saying it doesn’t go gold if it isn’t thick! Shame as when it works it’s lovely but now not sure whether to risk it on Christmas ornaments. Maybe it’s just the kiln gods having a bad day - I’ll keep trying!

This glaze IS like liquid gold, and it's becoming more precious than real gold. It is NOT a gold overglaze luster. It will not do fancy writing on top of another glaze, and it won't make a pretty gold rim, but it WILL turn out pretty much like the test tile in the photo. It fires great at Cone 6. It doesn't run on its own, but it WILL run like the dickens if it so much as breathes near another glaze. So, be aware of that. It is fabulous, and worth the $$.

You definitely need four coats and high fire and it’s absolutely stunning!

Didn’t come out of the kiln golden….unfortunately didn’t fire to a high enough temp

I am legitimately shocked at how fantastic this glaze is. It goes on so beautifully. It’s very smooth and easy to apply. Does not run. I used it for accent pieces on pottery and it legitimately looked like I had used an ultra low overglaze instead of a high fire glaze. Fired to Cohen six with another glaze did not do any layering Very happy would purchase again.

I'm happy with this gold glaze. After applying four coats, the finish came out beautifully vibrant. It has a true gold tone, not too yellow or brassy and gives a luxurious, metallic sheen that's perfect for accent work or full coverage. The consistency was smooth and easy to apply in layers, and it fired evenly with excellent results. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a deep, authentic gold finish on your ceramics.
