Anne Worner has again been developing and testing glazes. She has now
developed a very nice Black Satin Cone 10 oxidation glaze. It is very
stable with a good mix of fluxes and plenty of alumina and silica. Cobalt
leaching is less than 0.05 mg/l (the detectable limit). I'm posting it
with her permission. Anne has also supplied photos of the glaze on her
porcelain pots both with and without the cobalt (it is a black/brown
without the cobalt). You can see them on my site at:

Thanks Anne! Does anyone else have any results to send to me??

indifference before them depends upon their natures, and their natures
are inevitably projections of the minds of their creators." Bernard
