Variation is inherent to the handmade process and is intentional.

Low > Tile can vary slightly.

This glaze has subtle variation in tone and texture.

Moderate > Tile can vary slightly to moderately.
This glaze has clear and noticeable variation in tone and texture.

High > Tile can vary significantly.

This glaze is created by multiple layers of different colour glazes applied or glazes with extreme reactions in firing resulting in significant changes in colour, tone, and texture.
It is recommended that the range be viewed before selection.

Very High > Tile can show a dramatic and random variation.

This random glaze expression varies greatly from light to dark tones, texture, and also shifts in colour. It is recommended that the range be viewed before selection.

Tonal Variation

From light to dark within the same colour. A single tile can only show one tone and is not a complete representation of the glaze’s tonal range.

Textural Variation

Textural variation refers to the smoothness or mottling of a glaze. This includes size and density of crazing, crystal growth and other decorative techniques.
As with all types of variation, the texture will vary from tile to tile within a batch.

Colour Variation

Colour variation is the shift from one hue to another within one glaze.
Glazes that display shifts in colour will do so from tile to tile and with some glazes within a single tile.
