High Fire Stoneware 

Cone 8-10 (2315°F-2380°F)

I enjoy working in high fire. Sadly because of the financial investment high fire firing involve I rarely am able to fire to cone 10. The benefits of high fire stoneware is a stronger denser fired claybody. Excellent for ovenware, floor tiles, and everyday functional ware because of durability.
