August 29, 2024May 3, 2025 Galaxy Combo Mug By Elizabeth Crawford The Galaxy Combo is a glazing technique used in pottery and ceramics to create a cosmic, swirling, or speckled effect that resembles a galaxy. This effect is achieved by layering multiple glazes— combination of glossy and matte, opaque and translucent, or different colors—to create depth and movement.
