Hi Bret,
If I were you I would just try your local feldspar. I have several =
receipes from one of my clay friends in Durban, and I use my feldspar =
and she uses her.
Likewise with any American or English, etc. glaze receipe. The glazes =
are all successful.

Otherwise if you really need an analyis, there are some South African on =
the list that could probably supply it to you.

Best regards,
Alisa in Denmark

Here in Taiwan, South African potash feldspar is extremely popular. =
Unfortunately for me, most English-language glaze recipes call for North =
American or European feldspars.

Does anyone know which type of North American or European potash =
this South African feldspar is roughly equivalent to? If I knew this, =
it would make it much easier for me to adapt glaze recipes for local =
use. =20
