Raw Materials
Underglaze in so many ways. Five liquid ranges, plus our awesome chalk and pencil options.
The power of one. Just pure, solid colour, no tricks or pooling effects here. Like your glaze straightforward and classy, this one is for you. Keep it sleek on low, mid, or high fire pieces.
The ultimate wildcard. With these glazes, every piece is one of a kind. Throw in some crevices, experiment with firing temps, and watch your art do its thing.
The show stopper. Glorious crystals bringing in the wow factor! Available in low and mid-fire, these beauties can craze like nobody’s business, so maybe don’t serve up dinner on them. But as eye candy? Next level.
For work that pops (literally). These glazes create a raised, textured effect that doesn’t flatten out in the firing. Great for linework, sponging, or even a little palette knife action. Works wonders at low or mid-fire.
Color treat, without the heat. These bad boys don’t go near a kiln – just like regular acrylic paint, but made for bisque. Perfect for kids’ programs and bisque art parties; just paint and go, no baking required.
Lock it in, for the win. The final seal! Work so good you want to eat off it? Food-safe option is for you. Just like your stuff shiny? We’ve got your back at low, mid, or high fire.
Liquid
Powder
Keep the studio stocked. For high-volume glaze fiends who want to minimise waste. Buy in bulk and mix as you need. Awesome way to get a little more bang for your buck.

UNDERGLAZE
This underglaze does exactly what it says in its name - goes under glaze! Apply it before a clear glaze to make your masterpiece food-safe.
If you’re feeling a bit lazy (no judgment here), skip the clear glaze. You’ll still get a lovely matt finish perfect for decorative wares.

UNDERGLAZE IN THE WILD
"It’s tough to find underglazes that retain their vibrance at high temperatures but Chrysanthos manages it so well with a very affordable price range. The consistent quality throughout the years is amazing. Chrysanthos will always be my forever love and my first recommendation to people starting their pottery journey."

BASIC USAGE GUIDE
The Underglaze range is a staple in any artist's toolkit as it's affordable, non-toxic, and you won’t need a PhD in chemistry to figure it out!

Decorating greenware? Simply fire the Underglaze to bisque temperatures, then clear glaze (dip or brush both work!) and fire for a food-safe finish.
-
Decorating bisque ware? Even easier! Brush on clear glaze and fire for a food-safe finish.

Layer it up – one, two, or three coats for the perfect pop!
-
Make sure you give each coat time to dry for chef's kiss finish!

-
Most Underglaze fire between Cone 06 (999°C) - Cone 10 (1,305°C). Use the handy filter to check if your favorite color works for you.
We’re beginner Friendly and here to help (FAQ)
We wouldn’t recommend mixing the colors themselves, but feel free to work with different ranges on the same piece! Just make sure you stick to the same firing temperatures across the ranges.
The Underglaze range has different firing temperatures based on the color. They all fall into one of these:
- Cone 06 (999°C) – Cone 03 (1,101°C)
- Cone 06 (999°C) – Cone 6 (1,222°C)
- Cone 06 (999°C) – Cone 10 (1,305°C)
You can refer to the trusty filter above to see which color will work for you!
Hell yes! Like a typical underglaze product, these guys can be applied to both greenware or bisque.
Of course you can! As always, test, test, test, before completing your final piece – but we know it will be a stunner.
If fired between our recommended firing temperature, the color will be the same.
You can take a risk and fire low firing colors higher. Chances are you’ll see a color! Just know it won’t be the same as the color swatch shown.
The Underglaze range is our longest standing product range (which means over 30 years of testing!), so if that doesn’t give you enough confidence we guarantee all our products for 2 years. Store them out of direct sunlight and avoid contamination. Please don’t use dirty brushes in your bottles or add back any unused underglaze to the bottle! – You’re just asking for trouble.
Tony, owner and chemist, has done a damn good job at nailing the shelf life on this range.
