Review on Mayco Elements Non Toxic Bottle Malachite by Carol Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

AMAZING COLOR - love the effect on decorative ceramics (low fire)

This glaze is simply elegant and looks best on ceramic with some surface feature, line, curve or embossed design. I was surprised by the rich color of the malachite, which also shimmers silver on the raised elements. I used a brush, applied three coats in a criss-cross pattern to ensure coverage. It dries quickly and I had no problem sticking to the cookie. I fired it according to glazing recommendations 04-05 and the results were as expected - always a plus when glazing ceramics as results can often vary and be disappointing. I wanted this for college students so I bought three pints and am very glad I found this particular product. The finished fired surface really does look like glaze after hard firing, it was used for the low fired Black Jack Clay, my favorite for its malleability and excellent throwing properties. The fit was good with that Elements frosting if you're looking for a recommendation.

Pros
  • Beautiful, non-toxic, dish-safe glaze in natural earth tones
Cons
  • Crumpled wrapper
