White stoneware clay with 40% impalpable grog (up to 80 Mesh). Formulated for artistic ceramics, it is ideal for wheel-throwing and modelling smooth pieces with fine details.
The high content of grog confers an excellent behaviour during drying and firing. Its particular ivory colour after firing is much appreciated and provides an excellent ware for glazes and colouring oxides. Colouring oxides develop bright and intense tones on this body.
Suitable for tableware (food-safe) according to ISO6486.
Available in extruded body (moist-form).
