EGYPTIAN PASTE
EGYPTIAN PASTE Invented by the Egyptians some 7, 000 years ago, Egyptian paste which can be modeled, carved into simple forms, or pressed into molds. Egyptian paste is basically a self-glazing material with a sandy texture. and is characterized by its final color, a bright blue.
The soluble salts of soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, and lithium carbonate migrate to the surface during drying, developing a powdery white scum. This scum melts during firing to form a glazed surface and a highly glassified core structure to the body.
