Abbots Reactive Black is a Cone 6 midfire brushable glaze with a glossy deep black with subtle movement and undertone rather than a flat, solid finish. It gives work weight and intensity, and serves as a powerful contrast glaze in combinations where darker pooling and reactive variation are desired.
