| Name |
Number 1 w/Mang Cone 6 Clay |
| Description |
We added a small percentage of granular manganese to provide dark speckling in the body. That speckle bleeds through most glazes. As manganese is gaseous at higher temperatures, if you fire in reduction we recommend a lighter reducing atmosphere and slightly cooler firing to avoid trapped surface gases that can cause bubbling. |

| Warranty |
Because of the unavoidable variations in the natural material used to formulate clay as well as the uniqueness of each customers use, firing techniques and kiln environment, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU TEST–FIRE BEFORE USING IN PRODUCTION. |
