Body 591 is a lilac to yellow-coloured firing quality with 25 % chamotte 0 – 0.2 mm. The recommended firing range is 1000 °C – 1280 °C.
The plastic body is suitable for building-up smaller pieces as well as for throwing on the potter’s wheel, where it is also particularly suitable for larger pieces. The attractive play of colours from lilac to sand yellow develops as temperature increases.
