Review: Lovely glaze - Expensive but lovely Review: Pretty and adjustable colour - It’s a really pretty cone 6 glaze. Depending on the results you want, you just layer it thinner or thicker. The thinner areas appear brown and if you layer it thicker, the bluer it becomes. If you look at my photo, the bottom coaster has 3 layers. The top one also has 3 but is layered thicker in some areas to create those different effects. I will definitely have to try this glaze with 5-6 layers to see how blue it can go! ## Features - Harmful if swallowed. - May cause cancer. - Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. - AMACO Potter's Choice PC-57 Smokey Merlot High Fire Glaze (16 oz.) is a warm, dark purple liquid ceramic pottery glaze with a soft float of lilac over the surface. - Apply to Cone 04 bisque, then fire to Cone 5-6; the glaze looks stunning on smooth surfaces, over textured surfaces, and layered with other Potter's Choice glazes. - Layerable mid-high fire (Cone 5-6) AMACO Potter's Choice "PC" Glazes are a collection of potters' favorites made easy! - Suitable for all AMACO stoneware and porcelain clays. - Fired in oxidation, they are designed for artists desiring Cone 10 reduction effects without using a reduction gas kiln or firing at high temperatures.Great for layering with other AMACO Potter’s Choice Glazes, AMACO Celadon "C" Glazes, and AMACO Shino "SH" Glazes.Some colors require special applications, such as uneven, thin, or multiple coats of glaze. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00MMKXBLG | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 310,364 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 60 in Glazes | | Brand | AMACO | | Brand Name | AMACO | | Colour | PC-57 ** Smokey Merlot | | Colour Code | #652D30 | | Container Type | Jar | | Coverage | 50 Square Feet | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 386 Reviews | | Dry Time In Hours | 24 | | Finish Type | Gloss | | Finish type | Gloss | | Full Cure Time | 1 Hours | | Included Components | Glazes | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Waterproof | True | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Glazes - Ceramics | | Item Volume | 16 Fluid Ounces | | Item volume | 16 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | AMACO | | Model Name | Amaco | | Model Number | 35466J | | Paint Type | Ceramic Glaze | | Part Number | 35466J | | Size | 473.18 ml (Pack of 1) | | Special Features | Cone 5-6, Layerable, Mid-High Fire | | Special feature | Cone 5-6, Layerable, Mid-High Fire | | Specific Uses For Product | smooth | | Surface Recommendation | Stone | | UPC | 039672354661 | | Unit Count | 473.1765 millilitre | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AMACO - **Colour:** PC-57 ** Smokey Merlot - **Finish type:** Gloss - **Item volume:** 16 Fluid Ounces - **Paint type:** Ceramic Glaze - **Size:** 473.18 ml (Pack of 1) - **Special feature:** Cone 5-6, Layerable, Mid-High Fire - **Specific uses for product:** smooth - **Surface recommendation:** Stone - **Unit count:** 473.1765 millilitre ## Images ![Amaco Potters Choice Hi Fire (Cone5-6) Glaze - Pint # PC-57 -Smokey Merlot by Potters Choice Hi Fire Glazes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614FQwYaZvL.jpg) ![Amaco Potters Choice Hi Fire (Cone5-6) Glaze - Pint # PC-57 -Smokey Merlot by Potters Choice Hi Fire Glazes - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JSNO+I1ZL.jpg) ![Amaco Potters Choice Hi Fire (Cone5-6) Glaze - Pint # PC-57 -Smokey Merlot by Potters Choice Hi Fire Glazes - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AiySEsM2L.jpg) ![Amaco Potters Choice Hi Fire (Cone5-6) Glaze - Pint # PC-57 -Smokey Merlot by Potters Choice Hi Fire Glazes - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616D2t8rk4L.jpg) ![Amaco Potters Choice Hi Fire (Cone5-6) Glaze - Pint # PC-57 -Smokey Merlot by Potters Choice Hi Fire Glazes - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510HIKRasfL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: it's been 20± years since I worked with pottery/ceramics; tips or instructions for use? is it kiln fired?** A: It’s a beautiful color.

Depending on the results you want, you just layer it thinner or thicker. The thinner areas appear brown and if you layer it thicker, the bluer it becomes.

I will definitely have to try this glaze with 5-6 layers to see how blue it can go! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blue cute-ile *by C***I on 31 March 2021* Had I had time and my own ceramics shop, this is the only color I’d glaze all my pieces. I simply adore it! It works wonders if you apply some patterns, as all the uneven places get a lovely golden-rusty color. ## Frequently Bought Together - AMACO Potters Choice Glaze, Pint, Smokey Merlot PC-57, Each - Amaco Celadon Hi Fire (Cone5-6) Glaze - Pint # C-1 - Obsidian - AMACO Potter's Choice Glaze, Pint, Oatmeal PC-31, Each --- ## 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.sk/products/504216641-amaco-potters-choice-hi-fire-cone5-6-glaze-pint-pc](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/504216641-amaco-potters-choice-hi-fire-cone5-6-glaze-pint-pc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
