Stoneware 1-C fires to a sandstone color in oxidation and a brown in reduction. Stoneware 1-C contains a fine silica sand to make an excellent smooth textured wheel clay which will produce vitreous stoneware pottery within the temperature range of an electric kiln. Stoneware 1-C will give the appearance of a cone 10 reduction clay body when fired to cone 5 in oxidation. This body is made of local clays averaging just 25 miles from the pits to our pug mill. Though it was originally developed as a cone 6 body changes in the clay pits have increased the temperature for vitrification to cone 8.
