Ceramic inclusion stain.

Mason stains can be used at all firing temperatures except tin antimony lead yellows and pinks fire only to cone 02 but are formulated specifically for use in oxidizing atmospheres. Stains containing otherwise toxic oxides can be employed without significant dangers. These stain types also known as inclusion stains or inclusion pigments are zirconium silicate with cadmium sulfoselenide crystals ca se. Mason stains mason stains are made by mason color works which is one of the oldest manufacturers of ceramic stains.

These ceramic stains are fritted to insure color consistency from batch to batch. Stains are fired blends of metal and ceramic oxides that have been reground into a fine powder.

Understanding the advantages of disadvantages of stains vs. Mason colors are powdered pigments made of a combination of oxides and frits that create beautiful uniform rich colors. The fired color should be almost identical to the stain in its raw state.

By encasing inorganic cadmium compounds in a zirconium silicate crystal the coloring characteristics of these compounds are combined with the stability characteristics of the zirconium silicate.
