Blue Glazes
Homestead Blue
Flowing runs
of deep royal blue, satiny white and rich rust tones combine
in a variety of ways that make each piece truly unique.
This glaze was the answer to those who loved
the swirling effects we achieve with the Homestead Green, but
preferred blue tones instead. Homestead Blue uses a combination
of a matte white, a deep shade of royal blue and a special wash.

Traditional Blue Banded
This old-world
pottery pattern with its crisp blue bands has been handed down
through the years as a traditional design.
The skillfully placed bands of blue are painted
on each vessel by the potter once the piece is fully formed,
before it is removed from the wheelhead. The brush is set to
achieve a uniformly clean stripe. Each piece is finished with
a coat of glossy, clear glaze.

Bluebonnet
This cheerful
design is a favorite in the springtime, as bluebonnets are Texas’s
most beloved wildflower.
For our bluebonnet pottery, our potters hand
paint the bluebonnets on each piece of greenware and then airbrush
the rim with a cobalt underglaze. A clear glaze is applied after
it has been fired to bisque (1845ºF). We feature our bluebonnet
pottery seasonally.

Cobalt
This
vibrant glaze covers our pottery pieces with a smooth, sparkling
coat of blue.
A blue cobalt glaze is a must in every pottery shop. Known
for its consistent, unvarying nature, this traditional glaze
with its bright blue color complements and accents many of our
other colors and designs.
