seeking satin doll

Sometimes our workshop presenters will mix up a dynamite glaze, and leave it
here without leaving the recipe. Someone last summer left a rich black
satin cone 10 reduction glaze called Satin Doll, and my students love it.
It seems to be very reliable, and looks good with a lot of our other glazes.
It is obviously loaded with oxides, so we do not use it on food contact
surfaces, especially since I do not have a recipe. But we just ran out, so
if any of you have a recipe for a glaze called satin doll I would appreciate
it if you would post it on the list.
Thanks and best wishes -

SATIN DOLL is a Val Cushing glaze - he's a jazz lover, note the name . This
is the revised version:

Satin Doll Cone 10 Reduction Opaque

40 Red Art
15 Nepheline Syenite
10 Barium Carbonate
15 Talc
10 Whiting
10 Flint (silica)

Add:

chrome oxide 1%
red iron 2%
Manganese Dioxide 2%
Cobalt Carbonate 2%

If you use granular manganese rather than the powder form, you will get
little crystalline flecks on the surface. Most attractive. NOT, obviously,
a liner glaze, though the glaze HAS been tested.

Hello Vince and others...

I've waited to see if any one was going to reply to this... I haven't seen
any, unless I missed something... Satin Doll glaze is in the GLAZEBASE data
bank ... there is also a revision ... for those of you who don't know what
GLAZEBASE is, it is a searchable glaze data bank ... there is also CLAYART
glaze data bank ... to find out more go to this really useful web site

No - not a liner glaze - it's low in both alumina and silica and will leach
Barium among other things.

Here is a revision with Strontium - I'll bet you will not be able to see
any difference - and the expansion is a bit lower.

Red Art - 41.0
Neph Sy - 15.0
Strontium Carb - 8.0
Talc - 15.0
Whiting - 10.0
Silica - 11.0
Total 100.0

It's still not a durable glaze for cone 10 and may change colour when in
contact with some foods given enough time.
