Engobes for Matte Color Accents and Ceramic Decoration
Engobes are used to add color and decorative effects to ceramic surfaces. Without a transparent overglaze, they typically produce a matte finish; with a compatible transparent glaze, the surface appearance and color depth can change.
Use Engobes Safely and Deliberately
– follow the firing range specified for the individual product
– choose the substrate and stage of dryness according to the manufacturer's instructions
– for a glossy finish, check whether a suitable transparent glaze is recommended
– test combinations of clay, engobe and glaze before using them on a larger series of pieces
BOTZ offers engobes for different ceramic applications. Check the individual product information for the intended firing temperature and application method.
