copper red matte glazes

Hi:

I am sending a message for my father, who is
a potter.

"How do you keep copper red matte glazes permanently?
i.e. keep them from re-oxidizing, and keep customers happy
over the long term?"


Any information you can provide him would be
greatly appreciated.

Do you mean copper matte raku glazes/surfaces? Copper red GLAZES last a
lot longer than we do (witness Chinese copper reds, etc.)
