Minnesota Clay Co. USA Clay Bodies

Number 1 Stoneware with Manganese
Number 1 Stoneware with Manganese  
Description:
Adding a small percentage of granular manganese to the stoneware gives a dark speckling in the body and through the glaze. As manganese is gaseous at higher temperatures, we also recommend a lighter reducing atmosphere and slightly cooler firing to avoid trapped surface gases that can cause bubbling.
