Developed by <strong>Author: Isabelle Gallant<\/strong>, the combination is applied to <strong>Tucker\u2019s MCS White porcelain<\/strong>, a clay body that allows subtle shifts in tone to remain clear and luminous after firing. At <strong>Cone 5\u20136<\/strong>, the glazes soften and move just enough to create gentle transitions, where each material keeps its identity while responding to the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upper rim carries <strong>AMACO Ancient Copper<\/strong>, settling into a deep, iron-rich brown that feels grounded and steady. Across this band, <strong>AMACO Snow<\/strong> breaks and gathers, forming a pale, textured layer that suggests salt foam or mineral deposits left behind by receding water. Beneath, <strong>AMACO Satin Oribe<\/strong> stretches into cool blue-green, its satin surface catching light in a quiet, diffused way. Where these glazes meet, boundaries dissolve into soft edges, and the surface reads as a continuous landscape rather than separate applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Application plays a decisive role in the final result. <strong>Satin Oribe (3 coats)<\/strong> anchors the lower section, while <strong>Ancient Copper (3 coats)<\/strong> defines the rim and interior. A final overlap of <strong>Snow (3 coats)<\/strong> bridges both, encouraging interaction during the melt. Fired slowly to <strong>Cone 5\u20136 (approximately 2155\u20132160\u00b0F)<\/strong> with a short hold, the glazes settle into their characteristic layering &#8211; controlled, yet responsive. The finished surface carries both precision and variation, shaped equally by intention and by the kiln\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2657.jpeg\" alt=\"Snow over Ancient Copper and Satin Oribe glaze combination on porcelain mug with layered blue green base and warm brown rim\" class=\"wp-image-2176\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2657.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2657-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_2657-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tuckers-pottery-supplies-inc.shoplightspeed.com\/mcs-clay-cone-6-porcelain-ecom.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Tucker&#8217;s MCS white porcelain<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=satin-oribe\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"409\">AMACO Satin Oribe <\/a>x3 on bottom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=ancient-copper\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"439\">AMACO Ancient Copper<\/a> x3 top band<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AMACO Ancient Copper x3 inside <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.amaco.com\/c-10-snow\/\" rel=\"noopener\">AMACO Snow<\/a> x3 overlapping both<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The program goes slow to 2155 F with a 30 minute hold, ending at about 2160 F  (Celsius &#8211; goes slow to <strong>1180\u00b0C<\/strong> with a <strong>30-minute hold<\/strong>, ending at about <strong>1182\u00b0C<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit: Isabelle Gallant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ancient Copper melts into a foamy Snow layer, blending with Satin Oribe\u2019s cool blue-green, creating a rich, oceanic gradient with depth and texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2176,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":25,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,29],"tags":[439,131,409,50],"class_list":["post-2169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mugs","category-combos","tag-ancient-copper","tag-porcelain","tag-satin-oribe","tag-snow"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2169"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13159,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2169\/revisions\/13159"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
