Calling all pottery lovers! If you're looking for a vibrant, reliable underglaze that won't let you down, Speedball's Royal Purple is a fantastic choice. This 16-ounce jar is packed with rich, opaque color that fires true every time.
What makes it special? This underglaze is seriously versatile. It's formulated to work across a wide firing range – from Cone 05 all the way up to Cone 10. That means whether you're working with low-fire or high-fire clay, this stuff will perform. You can apply it to either greenware or bisqueware, and it stays put – no bleeding or running.
The color payoff is excellent. Apply 2-3 coats (we recommend going liberal with it) for deep, consistent coverage. If you leave it unglazed, you get a soft, velvety matte finish. Cover it with a clear glaze, and the color intensifies into a gorgeous, glossy richness.
It's perfect for all kinds of techniques: detailed brush painting, sgraffito, watercolor effects, mishima – you name it. Professional ceramic artists trust Speedball for good reason: the colors are opaque, predictable, and vibrant.
And yes, it's totally dinnerware-safe when fired correctly with a covering glaze. It's lead-free and non-toxic when used as directed. Made right here in the USA.
Whether you're a beginner exploring underglazes or a seasoned pro needing a dependable purple, this jar won't disappoint. It's a workhorse color that belongs in every potter's studio. Get ready for some stunning, consistent results!
