This glaze is seriously short of silica and I think it is not an ideal
glaze for functional work. Acidic foods will surely affect it. I would
suggest - if it must be used - to substitute 6.75 strontium Carb for the
Barium Cab.
It's expansion is very high and it will craze on most clay bodies.
It also has over 10% Magnesium carb - making crawling a distinct possibility.
