Mason 6001 Alpine Rose Stain Glazes. Low Fire-Mayco This material is good substituteStains are a mixture of ceramic oxides and coloring metal oxides that are melted in kilns, quenched, ground to specific mesh size (some are acid washed), and colored with organic dyes to simulate the fired color. Essentially they are fritted colorants.
