Choosing ceramic glazes & colors is a workflow decision: do you want powder pigments to prepare and mix into clay-related materials, or a liquid underglaze setup suited to brushwork? Ceramic Stains and Dunzoom cover those different approaches, so the right choice depends less on their close prices than on how you plan to apply color.
Quick verdict
Ceramic Stains is the better fit for makers who want pigments for underglaze, pottery glaze, ceramic glaze, or slip-and-clay mixing. Dunzoom is the clearer choice for brush-led underglaze work because its kit includes painting accessories. With a $3.00 price spread, your working method should break the tie.

Product notes
Ceramic Stains 60g Each Color Pigments Powder
The powder format is the main reason to choose Ceramic Stains. The pigments are suited to making underglaze, pottery glaze, or ceramic glaze, and to mixing with slip or clay, so they fit a workflow that moves between colorant and clay materials. Each color is 60g, with 12 colors in the set. Its practical limitation is preparation: powder intended for making or mixing is a less direct match for someone seeking liquid color for brushwork. The "pigments powder" wording also signals that the colorant itself is the focus rather than a bundled painting setup. Choose Ceramic Stains when multi-material use and hands-on powder handling are central to the project.
Dunzoom Set of 12 Underglaze for Ceramics Kit
Dunzoom fits a brush-led session with concentrated opaque liquid underglaze. Its color direction includes watercolor effects, while the colors are designed not to move or flow during firing. Those details give the kit a defined painting approach rather than a loose pigment-mixing role. One limitation is that concentrated liquid underglaze is a less direct match for someone specifically seeking powder pigments to mix into slip or clay. The firing range is 1180°C-1260°C, so kiln planning needs to account for that specification; the raw temperature figures do not establish a quality advantage. Dunzoom is the natural pick when liquid underglaze and the included painting accessories fit the project.
Final choice by use case
For a studio workflow built around making or mixing color across clay materials, choose Ceramic Stains. For brush-led underglaze painting with an included palette and detail brushes, choose Dunzoom. If both workflows could work, use the price spread as the tie-breaker: Dunzoom is the lower-priced choice at USD 62.99, while Ceramic Stains is USD 65.99. The central decision remains powder pigment flexibility versus a liquid underglaze kit.
