NPS Midfire Glazes
Shop our full range of NPS midfire brush-on glazes, made in Australia in a wide variety of colours and finishes.
Midfire glazes typically fire in the Orton Cone 4–6 range, sitting between earthenware and stoneware temperatures, offering a balance of colour range and durability.
Midfire glazing offers a wider colour palette than high-fire stoneware while still achieving a more durable, vitrified result than low-fire earthenware, making it popular for functional ware.
No, your clay body must be rated for the same midfire temperature range as your glaze to ensure proper vitrification and glaze fit.
Clay bodies specifically formulated for Cone 6 firing, such as midfire stoneware or porcelain, are best suited to midfire glazes for reliable results.
Many midfire glazes are formulated to be food safe once fired correctly, though it's best to check individual safety data sheets for specific products.
Most brush-on midfire glazes require 2–3 even coats, though coverage can vary depending on the specific colour and finish.
