Black Porcelain

Black Ice is a black porcelain noted for its beautiful black graphite color. It has high plasticity, which makes it ideal for wheel-throwing and modeling.

Its formula is very stable and provides a secure firing range between Cone 6-7 (oxidizing atmosphere).

Black Ice is suitable for tableware (food-safe), according to ISO 6486:1999. 

It is available in extruded body (moist form), and presented in a practical 11 lb. cylindrical format with double packaging.
