Clay body specifically formulated by request from Midwest and Eastern U.S. potters. An excellent throwing body. The color palette is perhaps best described as 'desert' or 'Southwest'. Fired in oxidation, Speckled Buff falls into the tan/brown color range.
 
Please note: This clay is not ideal for holding water (i.e., for vases, cups, mugs) as it is keen to absorb water even after fired to cone 5/6
