St. Rose red is a unique low plasticity highly iron stained refractory clay that is useful for imparting red coloration to high and medium temperature clay bodies. While many iron bearing plastic clays are on the market, almost all of these are low temperature materials and thus flux to produce brown rather than red colors and higher temperatures. St. Rose Red also contains particulate iron materials which produce a fired character at coarser mesh sizes that is unique in the industry.
