Since 1955/Hilliard, Ohio
Mayco make more glaze lines than anyone else we buy from, and the lines behave nothing like each other.
Stroke & Coat is the one most people meet first. The Stoneware lines are a different animal, and the Specialty glazes are different again.

Mayco Colors is run by Coloramics out of Hilliard, Ohio, and their own material puts more than sixty five years behind the brand.
Their catalog runs past four hundred glazes, which is why our shelf carries Mayco under several separate family headings rather than one.
About these images and what your pot will actually look like
We have done our best to represent every glaze here accurately, and you should still expect your pot to look different from what is on this screen.
Our glaze tile images are digitally created. They are built to show the character of a glaze, not to be a color match.
A screen is not a printout, a printout is not a test tile, and a test tile is not a finished pot. Each step in that chain shifts what a glaze looks like, sometimes a lot.
On top of that, the pottery itself changes the result: the clay body, how thick the glaze went on, whether it was brushed, dipped or sprayed, what was layered under or over it, where the piece sat in the kiln, how hot that spot ran, how fast it cooled, what was fired next to it, and how much texture the surface had. Two pots glazed from the same jar on the same day can come out different.
Treat every image here as a starting point, and treat a test tile fired on your own clay as the real answer.
