WALLY ASSELBERGHS on fri 26 oct 01


A nice lady at my art academy has recipe in her notebook for celadon =
stoneware glaze :
31 feldspar (kali)
7 china clay
14 whiting
33 quartz
12 talc
and......
R-Y OX 3 pct

This would be recipe from Ian Gregory

QUESTION :
- does anyone know temperature of this recipe ?
- any idea which oxyde "R-Y" might be ?
- anyone have any experience with this glaze ?
apply thick/thin ? long/short soak ?
heavy reduction needed ?

Thanks for any tip-help-advice.
You would make this lady very happy, she's
a true glaze addict.....

For a celadon /glaze in reduction the usual addition is that of iron oxide.
I would guess that the author meant a yellow or red iron oxide addition.

Probably RIO: RED Yron Oxide 3%
It will melt in ^6 might be toward matte because of high magnesia and silica

Hello Wally:

I looked at the seger formula of this glaze with Insight and Matrix. Both
programs tell me that it's most likely a cone 10 glaze. It's a bit out of
whack though. A bit low in alumina and also short of KNaO for a cone 10
glaze. It also has a very low expansion and I would watch for shivering on
some bodies. This is probably due to the Magnesia being close to the upper
limit. If you increased the feldspar a bit the alumina and KNaO would
probably start to fall in, or closer to, accepted limits. I calculated the
glaze with potash feldspar for the record. You didn't state a specific
type in your query and it does make a difference.

The R-Y Ox at 3 pct is most likely red or yellow iron oxide at 3 percent.

regards, Craig Martell in Oregon

From the notes on the celadon recipe I would expect the R is for Red Iron
Oxide and the Y is for Yellow Iron Oxide. You could substitute either one in
this glaze at 3%. Test and compare on Porcelain or white stoneware. Maybe a
stoneware clay covered by a grolleg porcelain slip. Several test tiles,
different clays and Oxide ingredients placed around in the kiln will help
you decide which direction to go before committing to mixing a bucket full.
Keep good notes as to which tile is which.
Good luck,
Dale Tex
