Review: Beautiful color - I’ve been using this glaze for my pottery pieces and I’m really impressed with the results. It applies smoothly and fires beautifully, giving a consistent, professional-looking finish every time. The color is soft and natural, which I love for creating calming, minimalist pieces. It works well for both dipping and brushing, and I’ve had great success with even coverage and no unexpected surprises in the kiln. The texture and final look add such a nice depth to my work. Overall, this is a reliable, high-quality glaze that I’ll definitely keep stocked in my studio. Perfect for both beginners and experienced potters! Review: Love this Hematite Glaze! - This odd little pot that I made became the tester for my new Speedball glazes. I purchased the Hematite (to replace another brand's Mirror that I didn't like), Dragon Stone and the Blackened Copper. I used all three on this pot. I used 3 fairly heavy coats of the Hematite on the lid and am so thrilled with how it turned out. It didn't run all over everything. In fact, it didn't run at all . And, the texture still shines through. Such a fun glaze. The Blackened copper I used on the outside all over (x3) and the inside (x3). I used the Dragon Stone on the top edge of the pot, but I did continue it down over the Blackened Copper. The Dragon Stone looks great on the ledge, but did run heavily over the copper on the sides of the pot. I like the overall effect, it was just a bit unexpected. The inside of this pot is beautiful! The Blackened Copper turned out exactly as the jar promised. Beautiful satin red and black throughout. On the outside, the results were not as dramatic-mostly a pretty brown made shiny because of the Dragon Stone flowing over it. I am testing another piece with the Blackened Copper outside with nothing on top to see how it behaves. While I love the results of the Blackened Copper, my jar is very runny and smells like rotten eggs. I don't mind if it turns out the results are consistent as promised. I can hold my nose while I glaze. This was my first experience with Speedball pottery glazes-I love them so far! ## Features - DEVELOPED WITH ACCLAIMED ARTIST - Formulated in partnership with ceramic artist, Nancy Sowder - USE AT CONE 5/6 OXIDATION - Create magical mottling and reduction-like effects - DINNERWARE SAFE - All colors are lead-free and certified dinnerware safe and AP or CL tested - USE SINGLE COLOR OR LAYER - Eye-catching results with single color application or layer colors for more unique variation and dimensionality - FOR PROS AND BEGINNERS - Friendly application and firing no matter your experience level ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CT41DPVV | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,780 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #11 in Ceramics Glazes | | Brand | Speedball | | Brand Name | Speedball | | Color | Biscotti | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 187 Reviews | | Item Type Name | Pottery Glazes | | Item Volume | 16 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 1.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Speedball Art Products | | Model Name | Mid-Fire Glazes | | Model Number | 002127 | | Part Number | 002127 | | Size | 16 Fl Oz | | UPC | 651032021275 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Speedball - **Color:** Basque Green - **Manufacturer:** Speedball Art Products - **Model Name:** Mid-Fire Glazes - **Size:** 16 Fl Oz - **UPC:** 651032021121 ## Images ![Speedball Mid-Fire Glaze, Basque Green, 16 Ounce Jar for Pottery and Ceramics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SOaYCS4KL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful color *by L***O on April 10, 2026* I’ve been using this glaze for my pottery pieces and I’m really impressed with the results.

Pictured here on Laguna b-mix fired to cone 6 with 3 thicker coats, likely would have been perfect with a 4th or 5th coat ## Frequently Bought Together - Speedball Mid-Fire Glaze, Basque Green, 16 Ounce Jar for Pottery and Ceramics - Penguin Pottery - Specialty Series - Floating Blue - Mid Fire Glaze, High Fire Glaze, Cone 5-6 for Mid Fire Clay, High Fire Clay - Ceramic Glaze Pottery (1 Pint | 16 oz | 473 ml) - Pasler Gold Glaze for Ceramic Pottery Bisque,PCG01,16fl oz/473ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/663812800-speedball-mid-fire-glaze-basque-green-16-ounce-jar-pottery](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/663812800-speedball-mid-fire-glaze-basque-green-16-ounce-jar-pottery) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
