100c to 600c 212f to 1112f
150c to 1100c 300f to 2012f
100c to 1220c 212f to 2228f
soak at 1220c for 30 minutes =20
cool down 100c per hour to 900c (212f/1652f)=20

Recipe
24 3134
10 Neph. Sye
16 EPK
20 Whiting
26 Flint
2.5 Talc
1.5 G200

ADD
5 Tin ox.
0.35 Chrome oxide

Subs: =20
Frit 169 for 3134
Forshammer for G200

Resulted in a smooth gloss glaze, with an underlying grey to pink fluid =
colors under gloss "shell". Some signs of burgandy where thickest at =
top of tile. Stayed where dipped and no discernable difference where =
thicker. I believe like the Rosenrot, I should let this glaze soak =
longer before using to get the deep burgandy. However, it is quite =
understated and nice on this test.
