KGM body has a wide firing range, which enables it to be used at earthenware and stoneware temperatures.  Its' warm cream colour at earthenware temperatures makes it ideal for decorating or coloured glazes.  At stoneware temperatures in both oxidised and reduction firing this low iron body responds well to glazes.  A small amount of speckling can occur in reduction.  As a smooth body KGM throws well and can also be used for handbuilding.  Lastly this versatile body performs very well as a casting slip.
