  • Floating Blue

    Floating Blue glaze is a mid-fire, variegated glaze known for its deep blue hues and the appearance of depth, resembling water. Its surface can vary from glossy to semi-matte, often exhibiting streaks or spots of lighter blues and greens, creating a visual effect that seems to "float" over the surface of the ceramic piece. This glaze is popular for its unique and unpredictable finish, making each piece distinct.
