Some fake Mashiko glazes from the Clayart list and other sources.
Also you might try mixtures of feldspar and RIO. Start with 4% and work your way
just like the real thing. Some elmers glue or a small amout
of gum will hold it in suspension.

Spar---------93
RIO-----------4
Gum---------1-3%

Comments: comments: I use Reeve's synth Mashiko over

a clear glaze and wax resist. John recalculated from an analysis

of Mashiko stone. I got the the following two glazes from the
anadian Potter, John Reeve: I saw it looking over his

shoulder at his glaze notebook while he was looking for

another glaze. :^) I _did_ ask if I could copy it! ;^) source for

original recipe: John Reeve submitted by: Lee in PigsEye e-mail:

Possible Health Hazards:

comments: Here is another Kaki I use over clear and wax resist.

This is sometimes more metallic red than Reeve Mashiko,

but covers (stays opaque over) the clear better. submitted by:

Kaki, Jim Gritner ^10

Here is another Kaki I use over clear and wax resist:



Calcined Red Art 70

Custer 20

Flint 10

Kaolin 3

Dolomite 6

Bone Ash 4

Red Iron Oxide 3



This is sometimes more metallic red than Reeve Mashiko, but covers (stays

opaque over) the clear better.
