Very nice piece, Mel.
I have used glass at both cone 6 in an electric kiln and at cone 9-10 in
reduction, but always on wall pieces, ash trays, coasters, and such--in oth=
er
words, not for anything that would be used for food. The glass looks lovely=
,
when it comes out well, even plain glass with oxides.
Thanks for sharing.

we have a saying at hay creek...as we fire every day, every
kiln except wood.
it you take the pots from the kiln and put them
on the grass...`if the grass does not light on fire, you
have waited too long to open the kiln`.
(smile)
i have put a pix on the clayart website
click below.
last pix. fired two weeks ago...already sold and gone
to a good home...filled with flour. (she has like
7 of them now...show pieces for her new kitchen
with black granite counters...)
it is a large cannister with a large knob filled
with the glass from an expensive vodka bottle.
dark blue.
( folks save these bottles for me. as i am
one of the chosen few that does not consume
booze.
not that i am pure, but if i risk my pancreas
at all, i will be dead.
so there.
