Does anyone have a recipe for a Low Fire Oxidation Celadon?
I have been using Duncan's commerical glaze but it's getting too expensive. I
can find plenty of reduction recipies but none for the electric kiln. Also, it
has to be dinnerware safe.

Dee:

We use Batz Maiolica with grey green Mason stains for various hues of
faux celadon at cone 04.
