Bowens,

as crazy as this may seem put some cobalt blue watercolor in a small =3D
amount of your celadon glaze....It is fery finely groung ....I don't =3D
remember who used to do this but the results were good Try =3D
Untramarine also.

Carlton Ball "Chun" Celadon is a very good glaze. with a very small =3D
amount of cobalt mixed in the glaze wet mix (5%) up until you get =3D
what you may be looking some of the chun with your celadon. =3D20

That glaze is really nice, I use it with cobalt and iron for a great =3D
blue and the porcelain body doesn't have grolleg in it. A small amount =3D
of barium (2.5%) helps te color develop. It is a glaze that has at =3D
least 10 ingrediants in it. The glaze is in "Making Pottery without a =3D
wheel" by Carlton Ball. The other glazes in his book are good also.
