Blue Bucket Tools – Jar Sieve For Commercial Glazes and Underglazes (Includes Spatula)

The jar sieve are the smaller siblings to Blue Bucket Tools’ poular and revolutionary Cup Sieve. Created by popular demand. Many people use commercial glazes, and underglazes, and were seeking a neat, clean, and compact way to refine, reconstitute, or remove chunks from their glazes without needing extra containers. These miniature sieves are designed to securely lock into all of the popular commercial glaze containers. These have been specifically around Amaco, Mayo, Coyote, Speedball and Ritual glaze containers, and work great! They also fit perfectly in a classic 16 ounce plastic disposable cup so that option is open as well.

Jar sieves include a handy, clip-on spatula!

What Mesh Size is the right one?

Mesh size indicates the number of wires per linear inch in the screen—the higher the number, the finer the mesh. A finer mesh requires more effort to push material through but captures smaller particles. Ceramicists often select their preferred mesh size based on their specific needs. Generally, 60 Mesh suits general glaze and underglaze reconstitution, 80 Mesh is ideal for filtering out oolites and small crystals while breaking up colorants, and 100 Mesh provides the smoothest texture by breaking down the finest colorant particles, though it may also filter out some glaze, underglaze, or slip components.

This sieve comes in a color-coded scheme based on two color ways – Blue or Pink. The colors get lighter as the mesh size increases.
