Pasler Underglaze Set - 12 Concentrated Opaque Liquid Colors

In this review the Pasler Underglaze Set is evaluated for ceramic artists looking for reliable, vibrant underglaze that is ready to use straight from the bottle. The set delivers twelve concentrated, opaque liquid colors that are formulated to stay put during firing and to produce noticeably richer, more vibrant results after glazing. For painters who need precise application and consistent color response across a wide firing range, this set is a practical choice because it blends easily and covers bisque or greenware without thinning.

Key Features

• Concentrated opaque formula: Provides strong coverage so fewer coats are needed and fine details remain crisp when applied to bisque or greenware.
• Ready to use: Liquid consistency allows immediate brushwork for free painting, watercolor effects, sgraffito and mishima techniques without additional mixing.
• Wide firing range: Stable through Cone 06 to Cone 6 (999C - 1222C) with some colors remaining true as high as Cone 10 (1305C), so it suits low- to mid-fire workflows.
• Non-toxic and food safe after glazing: Lead-free composition makes finished pieces suitable for functional ware when covered with a transparent glaze.
• Twelve vibrant colors: A curated palette that can be blended to create additional shades, reducing the need to buy separate tubes or bottles.

Who It's For

The set is ideal for hobbyists and ceramic students who want a dependable, ready-made palette for detailed brushwork and decorative techniques; the opaque concentration is particularly useful for painters who value strong coverage and color intensity after firing. It also fits studio potters doing small runs who need consistency across multiple firings and want non-toxic, food-safe results when glazed.

Professional artists firing exclusively at very high temperatures who require every color to remain unchanged at Cone 10 should test specific shades first, since only some colors are noted to hold true at the highest range. Those who prefer powdered underglazes or artisan single-color formulations may look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Vibrant, concentrated colors that produce stronger results after glazing and firing.
• Easy to apply liquid texture works well for fine detail, sgraffito and watercolor effects.
• Stable through a broad firing range and colors do not move or flow during firing.
• Good value thanks to a set of 12 blendable colors that expand the usable palette.

Cons

• Not every color is guaranteed to remain identical at the highest Cone 10 temperature; testing is recommended for high-fire use.
