Body 8251 is a warm tan-to-cork coloured stoneware with natural basalt spots throughout. Where 0931 gives you a cream base with specks, 8251 fires to a richer leather tone that reads as earthy and warm — perfect for organic, natural-looking ceramics. The spots become bolder at higher temperatures, and the warm base colour pairs beautifully with earthy glazes and natural ash effects.
