Lagoon Turquoise Porcelain 1200-1240C

Lagoon is a distinctive turquoise porcelain noted for its wide and expressive range of blue and turquoise tones across its firing range. The colour development varies significantly with temperature, producing visually rich results under controlled firing conditions.

The body is highly plastic, making it well suited to wheel throwing as well as hand-building and modelling. Lagoon is compatible with Aneto Porcelain (164-ANET) and can be used alongside it within the same firing schedule.

Lagoon is suitable for tableware and is food-safe when fired correctly, in accordance with ISO 6486.

Bag size: 5 kg

Note:
(*) The recommended firing range represents the temperatures at which the clay achieves optimal technical performance and safety characteristics under conventional firing conditions. Colour reference samples may include firings outside this range to demonstrate colour response, but these pieces are produced under controlled conditions.
