Sieving glazes can be a chore, but it is an important one. And we dare say it might even be a little bit enjoyable with Blue Bucket Tools Cup Sieves.
Designed to maximize throughput, the screen is as wide as can be while still fitting the popular cup sizes used in glaze testing. While versatile for all sorts of users, these are right at home in university glaze labs, group studios and classrooms. They work great for large deli containers, 16oz. solo cups, and glaze sprayers.
Key Features:
Free Clip-on glaze spatula - is securely snaps onto the sieve so you don't lose it, and shares a hanging hole with the sieve. designed to gently push all the glaze through without damaging the screen.
316 Stainless Steel Screen - Marine grade and resistant to salt and corrosion. The best material available for this use, ensuring years of service.
Built-in Hanging Hole – Perfect for hanging to dry and easy storage. Can clip onto a carabiner, too!
Side Venting – Improves liquid flow through the mesh for faster, cleaner sieving.
Permanent Bold Mesh Size Marking – Opposing color label is printed directly into the rim—no more fading stickers or guessing games.
Fits Most Common Commercial Glaze and Underglaze containers – Securely locks into Amaco, Mayco, Speedball, Coyote, and Ritual Glazes, and likely many more! we specifically designed it around the ones listed, but we have found that the sizes are fairly consistent across brands. The outer lip hangs nicely in a standard 16 oz. disposable cup.
Straight Funnel Interior – Directs all glaze through the mesh with no waste or mess.
Easy-Clean Joinery – Smooth transition between the PETG plastic and stainless steel mesh makes cleanup a breeze. There is no place for glaze residue to gather.
Color-Coded Options – Available in a regimented color scheme that helps you clearly identify the mesh size, even from across the room!
Each mini sieve is made by us at Blue Bucket Tools HQ using durable, chemical-resistant PETG (the same plastic used in water bottles) and long-lasting marine grade 316 stainless steel mesh.
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.
