For Majolica Technique- Cone 05
Gloss Decorating Colors (GDC) are developed to produce the Majolica technique made famous by Italian Faience and Dutch Deflt ceramic artists. Apply GDCs directly over an unfired opaque white glaze – you will not need a clear covering glaze because colors will fire glossy and assume the smooth surface of the white base glaze. Recommended firing temperature is Cone 05 (1911 °F, 1044°C). Other methods of use include applying GDCs over other color Cone 05 glazes; applying directly to a Cone 04 bisque, then clear glazed and fired to Cone 05 or applying over a high fire white glaze such as HF-11 on Stoneware and firing to Cone 5 (2205 °F, 1207°C). Some colors may shift slightly in the latter method.
