River Rock Glaze - Emu Egg

Emu Egg - Matte Glaze (MF-67)

500ml brush-on glaze.

Midfire cone 6–8. Can be fired to cone 10, with changes to the glaze appearance. Australian made and developed in our Northern Rivers studio.

Blue-green and beautifully understated, every good idea starts with an egg. Emu Egg is silky matte and the colour of still mornings and storm clouds. Softly speckled, calm, but a tiny bit wild underneath, much like its namesake. The kind of colour that says, “Nature made me,” even though, technically, you did.

Fun fact: male emus do all the egg-sitting. They don’t eat, drink or leave the nest for nearly two months, pure dedication. This glaze channels ‘patient devotion to looking good under pressure’ vibes.

Perfect for: potters who know that understated doesn’t mean underwhelming - and that progress only moves one way: forward (just like the emu) *It's true- they actually can't go backwards.

*Potter's Note: This glaze has a lot of variation from steely blue, to soft greens depending on your application and firing. 

During cooling, tiny crystals form on the surface, creating more subtle colour variations and depth. These micro crystals develop more noticeably when the kiln cools slowly through the range of around 1050 °C to 850 °C, encouraging the glaze to grow more  delicate patterns naturally.
