Manganese Alumina Pink Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6020 Manganese Alumina Pink is a pink from manganese locked in a corundum crystal, which is alumina in its crystal form. Mason lists it among its body stains.

Crimson Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6003 Crimson is a chrome tin pigment taken to the red end of that chemistry. It fires a true crimson, not a strong pink, in a glossy, calcium rich glaze fired in oxidation.

Deep Crimson Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6006 Deep Crimson is the most saturated chrome tin pigment Mason makes, a dark crimson. The depth is in the pigment itself, so it does not depend on a heavy addition.

Alpine Rose Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6001 Alpine Rose is a chrome tin pink, a pigment made by firing chromium into a calcium tin silicate. It gives a clean mid pink with a cool cast in a glossy, calcium rich glaze fired in oxidation.

Shell Pink Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6000 Shell Pink is a chrome tin pink, a pigment made by firing chromium into a calcium tin silicate. It gives a soft, light pink in a glossy, calcium rich glaze fired in oxidation.

Blackberry Wine Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6381 Blackberry Wine is a dark red purple built from four colouring metals, chromium, cobalt, iron and nickel, in one tin silicate pigment.

Robin’s Egg Blue Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6376 Robin's Egg Blue is a pale blue with a green cast, from vanadium locked in a zircon crystal. It is used at the particle size Mason supplies, since stirring and sieving give all the dispersion it needs.

Turquoise Blue Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6364 Turquoise Blue is a turquoise from vanadium locked in a zircon crystal. Mason marks it for porcelain bodies as well as glazes.

Zircon Blue Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6315 Zircon Blue is a clean blue with a turquoise cast, from vanadium locked in a zircon crystal. Zircon is among the most durable of the crystals used to hold a ceramic colour, so the blue is steady across a wide range of glazes.

Teal Blue Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6305 Teal Blue is a teal from cobalt and chromium in one crystal, with aluminium in place of part of the chromium. Mason marks it for use as a porcelain body stain as well as in glazes.

Bermuda Green Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6242 Bermuda Green is a green from praseodymium and vanadium together in one zircon crystal. A small addition reads light green, and more deepens the colour without moving the hue.

Mazerine Blue Mason Stain

Mason Stain 6300 Mazerine Blue is a cobalt blue built on a zinc silicate crystal. Mason marks it for porcelain bodies as well as glazes.
