Peter,

That recipe is currently known as Pinnell's celadon, (See Clay times,
sorry I forgot the issue but it was recently). It was called Ball
celadon years ago. Variations within 1 or 2% of ingredients are called
V& O celadon ( I assume that was Vivika and Otto), a.k.a. Beth's
celadon. Alfred celadon, Chouinard celadon. etc.

It works great with Grolleg as the kaolin and used on grolleg porcelain.
