ToggleWhat is Reactive Glaze?
Reactive glaze is a special ceramic glaze that forms naturally flowing texture and color changes on the surface of the vessel through chemical reactions during high-temperature firing. Notable features of reactive glaze include:
- Uniqueness: Each piece of reactive glaze dinnerware is unique because the texture and color of the glaze are affected by the temperature and time during the firing process and are difficult to completely replicate.
- Rich layering: Reactive glazes often present a superposition effect of multiple colors and textures, such as gradient colors, spots, or flowing lines, which enhance the artistic sense of the vessel.
- Delicate texture: Glazes may be a combination of matte or glossy textures that are both tactile and visually appealing, perfect for enhancing the aesthetics of your table.
