Subject: green glaze recipe wanted


I should like a recipe for a green glaze (gloss and/or matt) to trail or =
pour on
iron-rich glazes, such as tenmoku and kaki. I fire to cone 9 in reduction =
using
a small propane-fired kiln. A copper-based glaze is the obvious approach,
although I suspect green might be a somewhat unreliable outcome in reduction=
and
I would also prefer not to have the risk of it volatilising onto other pots.=
Is
there a suitable chromium-based one? All help providing a starting-point =
much
appreciated.
