Glazing and Firing

The OPUS CW320  Earthenware Tableware Glaze firing temperature range is 998˚C to 1060˚C . Bisque Direct bisque items remain white and OPUS colours remain bright for the full firing range.

For ornamental items a minimum of 998˚C with a 30 minute soak is just adequate. We recommend firing to the tableware temperature for all items.

For tableware items to be used for food and the dishwasher 1030˚C to 1060˚C with a 50 minute soak is recommended. Improved craze and chip resistance. 

If firing under 1030˚C for tableware items we recommend the OPUS CW320 Tableware Glaze.
