The door handle can be in the left or right position. There is a spy hole to view inside the kiln. When firing, the maximum operating temperature is 1100 centigrade. The time to reach the ideal enamelling temperature of 820 centigrade from cold is 30 minutes. The interior dimensions are 90mm x 140mm x 155mm. The gross weight is 6.3kg.

25gm each of a small selection of transparent and opaque enamels for application to copper, gold and silver.

25gm of multi-coloured crushed enamel lumps to give small areas of contrasting colours when placed on a base coat of enamels.
