So any of you have a glaze recipe for a warm grey glossy matt or shiny
glaze at cone 10 reduction?

--Asking for a friend

Thanks much,

I like this glaze. Don't know where it came from. My appologies to the
originator.

Grey Blue Celadon cone 8-10

Pspar 77.4
Flint 13.9
Whiting 5.9
Iron Ox. 2.2
Tin Ox. .6

Give it a try...

Hi Jeanette -
I was testing many different combinations of materials in a glaze and
ran across this very nice grey glaze :

Kaolin - 20
Custer spar - 50
Dolomite - 10
Whiting - 10
Flint - 10

It's a very simple glaze, but I got a real nice satiny grey that fit
perfectly and did not run even where thick. In my tests I always
referred to it as E#3. I was using a white stoneware throwing body
and fired it in an updraft cone 10 reduction, with a strong body
reduction at 06 and a light/moderate reduction from 06 to 10. Hope
this helps. E-mail me privately at DSWN57C@PRODIGY.COM and tell me
what you get.

This looks like a durable glaze - it will probably craze on most porcelains
though.
