Does anyone know if cone 10 stoneware refired in a Raku kiln loses
vitrification.
Also whether it is safe to than use to contain liquids and or food. I'm
getting some very interesting glaze results doing this. Thanks

Clay cannot be unfired.

Raku glazes should never be considered food safe unless they have only safe
oxides in them - a very difficult job at those low temperatures.
