When covered by one of the Texas Two-Step overcoats, Coffee Bean produces the series signature oilspots. When used on its own, it is a darkly mottled brown, with a look similar to leather. The Texas Two-Step Oilspots are a specialized series that use pairs of glazes to create unique effects. Anywhere that one of the five overcoats is laid on top of Licorice, Coffee Bean, or Brick Red, a stunning spotted pattern will appear during firing. Thicker applications lead to bigger spots. Try using wax resist after the first layer to create negative space designs. Test all foodware to determine food safety. Visit our safety page for more information.
