Vintage Aquarium

what type of pottery,paint & glaze are used in aquarium ornaments?

you know those vintage pieces?? i can’t find any,so i want to make my own.what type of pottery do i use,what type of paint & what type of glaze? i know it has to be non toxic but what is safe for aquarium use??

There are a lot of clays and glazes that are harmful to fish. Many terra-cotta formulas have a high iron content and eventually that iron will leach into the water. Many underglazes and glazes contain copper, chrome, cadium, magneseum and other chemicals that are deadly to fish. It also depends on what type of aquarium: salt or fresh? The safest clay body would be a high fire white dinnerware stoneware or porcelain with a clear dinnerware safe glaze. I would recommend a clay body that fires to cone 6. Personally, I would NOT recommend you put anything home-made in a fish tank, especially if you have salt-water fish.
