- Jackfield Glaze - A Jackfield glaze is a ceramic glaze that is typically black and highly lustrous. It is often used on stoneware or porcelain pottery to create a dramatic effect. The glaze is named after the town of Jackfield in Shropshire, England, where it was first developed in the 18th century.
The glaze is made by mixing various metal oxides, such as iron oxide and manganese dioxide, with a lead-based frit, which is a mixture of raw materials that have been melted and then quenched to form a glass. The glaze is then applied to the pottery and fired at a high temperature in a kiln.
Jackfield glaze is known for its unique properties, including its ability to create a highly reflective surface that resembles the appearance of black glass. The glaze is also quite durable and resistant to scratching and chipping, which makes it a popular choice for functional pottery such as bowls and plates. However, due to the use of lead in the frit, Jackfield glaze is not recommended for use on pottery that comes into contact with food or drink. - Polychrome - Made or finished in many colours. For furniture, it is used to indicated a painted finish.
