o3 satin and clear dishware safe

I'm testing glazes for dinnerware and want an 03 clear and a satin derived
from the 03 Clear both that pool nicely and go nicely over slip like Pete
Pinell's forgiving (although I would like also to slip trail with the
slip)...

I'm considering Pete Pinell's Best Clear (04) except I want to fire to 03
(would a cone degree hotter matter?); PP's 03 Basic Clear and Variation #22=
,
also Pete Pinell's. I like the idea of trying for a leaded glaze look.

I want to develop a translucent color palette that will pool in incised an=
d
impressed pattern. I'm wondering which would work better for dinnerware, an=
d
which would modify to satin better, AND what do I add to the mix to make an
03 satin. I want to be able to spray or brush, depending on whether I want
brush marks to show.

I am trying to develop a base for translucent color for both mid range
porcelain and earthenware. I am not a glaze person so am trying to keep it
simple. But it's complicated, right?!

I'm also using Linda Arbuckle's 03 majolica that I want to flow into deep
impressions (not painting over) and also would like to adjust to satin.

Here are the clears I'm considering. I've only tested the variation, which
with amber and green very nice. Perhaps the Basic clear is not meant to
mimic lead glazes?

Best Clear variation #22 (this is an 04 glaze and I'm wanting to fire to 03=
)

Ferro frit # 3289 24%
GB 33
Spodumene 19
Kaolin 12
Silica 12


Pete Pinell's 03 Basic Clear

Frit 3124 70
Strontium carb 10
Neph sy 10
Ball clay 10
+bent 2

Epson salts, apply thin

Centa, I just tested Continental Clay's 06/05 clear at 03 and it
worked fine. Even in single fire!

The 03 Amber on Linda's handout is a lead like glaze. You could
take the oxides out for a clear.

Hi Centa,

I would not recommend either - the first one has some barium in and
may not be stable - especially if you are decorating. The second one
is definitely not stable. Both are going to craze.

If you want to develop your own let me know and I'll send some recipes
to get you started.
