Hi there, can anyone help me with information about the composition and
/or glaze recipes/Seger formulae of Kang Hsi yellow monochromes ? All I
know is that they were most likely lead glazes with antimony as
colourant and probably some tin oxide . Used on porcelain (?) firing
E/W to midfire (maybe). Developed under Tsing at Ching-te-chen mid
1600's. If ANYONE can add anymore info I would be grateful,
Thanks, Folks!
