Body 584 is a salmon to tan firing stoneware quality with 40 % chamotte 0 – 1.0 mm. The recommended firing range is 1000 °C – 1240 °C.
The plastic body is very suitable for building-up medium-sized to large pieces. An appealing surface texture appears because of the coarse chamotte and the attractive firing colour.
