Hello Clayarters,
Once upon a time I had a cone 6 oxidation recipe called Reynold's gold,
which (to the best of my memory) has a huge percentage of manganese,
cobalt and probably other stuff you certainly would use ONLY on a
non-functional pot. I think there's easily 40% oxides. In the correct
application (not too thick, not too thin ) the color is an antique
gold.
However, I've misplaced my glaze recipe, and hope that someone on this
list can help me out.
Yes, to repeat, it is one of those glazes where you would want to
exercise serious health precautions in the mixing, g;laze applying,
firing and using. I always thought of it much the same as using a
ceramic lustre.
TIA

Hi Olivia,
I found the glaze you are looking for, or atleast a variant of it. I found
it in Answers to Potters Question 2. I was reading through the book this
morning and found it(page 104).
Reynolds Gold Metallic Glaze ^6
Black Copper Oxide 4.0%
Cobalt Oxide 2.5
Manganese Dioxide 36.5
Ball Clay(any) 4.0
Cedar Heights Redart 49.0
Flint 4.0
100%
There's also a Reynolds Green, let me know if you want that one as well.

Olivia,
some time ago I found another interesting glaze, similar to Reynolds gold, =
as
poisonous of course, I think
this seems to be easier to use as Reynolds sometimes crazes on my pots
I am not so sure if it is from Lucie Rie or Hans Coper:
Basic Copper 1200 - 1260=B0C
Black Copper Oxide 02.50
Manganese Dioxide 48.00
China Clay 15.00
Ball Clay 12.00
I fired this to cone 6, it also needs to be balanced, too thin it is matt
black but it seems to have less tendency to craze. I use these glazes on the
outside of my Ikebana containers.

Dear Olivia,
This probably isn't exactly the same recipe but you can get a similar
'antique gold' with.
Manganese Dioxide 90
Copper oxide 10
Then add some china clay to help stop it running too much. About 20% to
30% seems about right for ^6
As you say, one need to be aware of the health precautions,
Best regards,
Mike Bailey, Bath. U.K.

Beware - there is mounting evidence that firing this type of glaze can
result in dibilitating ireversable manganese poisoning - My advice is to
not do it but if you must manage your kiln from a distance and hold your
breath.
