I've been given this ^5-6 recipe recently and am so happy with it thought I'd
pass it on to all you nice people. The name was Mayan Blue, but I'd call it
a teal. Realy popular color in decorating nowadays.

Gers. Bor. 50%
EPK 15
Flint 35
add:
Bentonite 1-2%
Chrome Oxide 1
Cobalt Carb. 1

I've used it on my stoneware body and also Lizella earthenware clay. Looks
great on both. Haven't used it on a white body but see no problems there.
Hope you like it as well as I have.

I copied down a recipe called Purple Rain ^8, but didn't note whether it was
oxidation or reduction. Can someone please provide this information?

Thanks,

Hi, I'd really appreciate it if someone could share a recipe for a reddish
brown matt glaze, cone 6 Ox. Also I'd like a purple glaze if anyone has a
cone 6 glaze to share. Thanks JO

I've been lurking on this group for a while and really getting a lot of
useful info from it as well. It's been great to actually get to know what
goes on in the mind of potters (mostly). I am a very avid leisure time
potter with a mania for finding great glazes for the electric kiln. I have
recently tried a recipe with that name and which was supposed to fire to
cone 6, but turned out very dry and underfired looking. It may do well at
cone 10, though and could be what you're looking for.

Eggshell matt

Dolomite 10
Gerst borate 10
Whiting 14
Custer spar 47
EPK 19

Hope this works.
Sondra, catching up on weekend Clayart messages while the boss isn't looking.

I am taking a pottery class in Alburquerque, N. M.. One of the glazes that
I have used and really enjoy is called " Rob Roy 232 Clear ", which was
oxidation fired to cone 5. The teacher can't find the formula but thinks
that she may have gotten it from your web site. Can anybody help me find
this glaze recipe or tell me where to look ? Thank you, Leslie

I am looking for a good majolica recipe if anyone has one. I used to use
one I found in Ceramics Monthly--I think it was the Jan or Feb 1986 issue,
but can't remember. I would also like a black majolica as well. Thanks for
your assistance. suzanne

Hi Mia, Thank you, for your reply. Am saving it for after Christmas. I also
have some glazes you may be interested in. Let me know what you may be
looking for. I though those last letters refered to state,so was confused,
but Albicurky (sp?) was my first guess. Here is minus 20 degrees Cel.
(cold) and blowing snow coming. Wish to sell pots so I can spend winters in
Spain. Eh.

Me again, the one trying to teach myself glazing. Thanks, Ron, for the
advice on Butterscotch. I didn't see an answer about the glaze surfaces that
look like "pores." I don't think you would call it pinholes...aren't they
larger? It looks like skin under magnification...like pores. What causes
that? Is it supposed to look that way? I am referring to Xavier Warm Jade
Green and also Maple Syrup glaze that did that. Cone 6- tip bent...not
touching...is that the problem?
Thanks!
Dawn in Tenn.

just turned 50 too! wish I had started clay 30 years ago!

Paul Taylor on fri 19 oct 01


Dear Dawn

Over firing can cause this to happen . but I can not be certain so take
some draw trials . I suspect the jade green likes to cool slowly so the draw
trials will only tell you if the glaze is bubbling and then settling and
will not give an accurate repro of the cooled and crystallite glaze.

Take draw trials of all your glazes on their way up to temperature and
cooling down. You will learn a lot - its a bit of a bother but worth it
(seeing is believing).

Ron Roy on sun 21 oct 01


Hi Dawn,

For what ever reason - firing too fast, not enough soak - to fast cooling -
those are the remains of pin holes - just not completely healed over and
smoothed out.

If you want to change the glaze to melt more you can take some clay out -
1% at a time - that will make em smooth out better - or send me the
recipies and I will fix them. Sounds like you could do it with firing
though as no one else is complaining.

Let me know if you need more on this.

RR

Dawn,

I have some glazes that do this too. My theory is that 1) they need to be
fired hotter and/or 2) they are applied too thickly. Mine look fine when
thinner, or when on vertical surfaces, but tend to have "pores" when they
are too thick or on a horizontal surface like a plate.

I am searching for a glaze recipe and have attached a link with a picture
of the glaze. My mother purchased a piece with this glaze on it in
Ireland and can only recall that it might be a cone 9 glaze. I would
like to find the recipe and use it myself. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks, Lyndi
