THIVIERS CLAY

Notes

Also known as Thiviers stoneware, a versatile iron rich earth of firing range, from 900-1180C, amenable to earthenware or stoneware compositions; and particularly good in red glaze recipes to be used in place of iron oxide. For many, Thiviers is a member of the class of pipe clays, though it is rarely seen labeled as such. Alone, not blended with other clays, it has low plasticity.
