Tucker’s Mid Smooth Stone Speck is the same formula as the popular Mid Smooth Stone with a small addition of granular manganese which will melt through the glaze giving a nice speckle. It is a smooth, plastic clay with no grog or coarse fireclay in the formula. It fires to slightly greyer off-cream color than Mid Smooth Stone at Cone 6 oxidation. Designed as a throwing clay but it is also used for handbuilding when a smooth clean surface is required. This is a good compromise between stoneware and porcelain. This clay fires to a slightly grey off-cream color with specks at Cone 6.
