Lead times for out of stock Tucker’s clay bodies can vary between a few days and a few weeks (or more) based on where we are in the production schedule. We have “enabled back orders” on Tucker’s Clay which allows customers to add out of stock clay bodies to their order. A member of our staff will then be in touch with an estimated lead time.
Tucker’s Mid Smooth Stone Speck is the same formula as our popular Mid Smooth Stone with a small addition of granular manganese which will melt through the glaze giving a nice speckle. It is a smooth, plastic clay with no grog or coarse fireclay in the formula. It fires to slightly greyer off-cream colour than Mid Smooth Stone at Cone 6 oxidation. Designed as a throwing clay but it is also used for handbuilding when a smooth clean surface is required. This is a good compromise between stoneware and porcelain. This clay fires to a slightly grey off-cream colour with specks at Cone 6.

Hands down my favourite white speckled clay!! It's slightly brighter than most others, and is a gem to throw with as it has next to no grog.
Absolutely love this clay body for my studio. The speck is absolutely beautiful and it is so smooth and nice to work with weather it be wheel thrown or hand built. Highly recommend!
This is my favourite speckled clay to work with! The consistency of the clay is soft and workable but sturdy on the wheel! The creamy off white colour of the clay when fired to cone 6 is a great neutral background and holds glaze beautifully. It’s the only speckled clay I will use.
Best clay ever! Easy to work with and has a lovely speckle.
