    Mid-fire utility stoneware for making functional pieces. Refined, highly plastic, and semi-vitrified. Contains more Redstone than any other clay. Screened through a 100M sieve and designed for making pieces with a smooth, flawless surface. Very similar in composition to  M-350, it shares its delicate, smooth appearance but is more plastic. Its darker color tends to limit its use to specialized glaze effects. Contains 5 different natural clays, individually balanced.
