Stoneware Clay w/ grog No. 48
  Dry only
AMACOŽ Stoneware Body No. 48 is composed of several clays selected for
their plastic qualities, coarse fireclay, and grog for texture. It is
excellent for throwing, hand building, and sculpture, but is not
suitable for casting. No. 48 is available in de-aired moist and
airfloated dry formulas.
When fired at the recommended temperature of Cone 5 to 6 (2205°-2269°F,
1207°-1243°C) in oxidation, bisque is a warm buff color peppered
throughout with dark spots, similar to a reduced stoneware body. When
reduction fired, this body is a very dark brown. At Cone 5 total
shrinkage is 11.3% and absorption 6.0%. At Cone 10 total shrinkage is
11.7% and absorption 2.9%.
All AMACOŽ High Fire Glazes are recommended for use with No. 48
Stoneware. Light Matte and transparent glazes allow the dark specks in
the clay to show for a peppered effect. Unique effects can be achieved
with partial glazing, underglazing and engobes.
