If you have other bottles without glaze inside then be sure they will also
break easily. The glaze has little to do with it. It could happen with
many glazes. I know from experience.

Many glazes do not match exactly the expansion or contraction rates of the clay
they are on. Shivering and crazing are examples of this. What you describe is
also an example. This problem doesn't always appear obvious when the pot is glazed
both inside and out because the two glazes surfaces "cancel" or equalize each
other. It's not a shino problem perse, any glaze that doesn't fit the clay can do
it.

Dear Marta;

A good question, and one that might be tested by trying different
glazes on the inside. Perhaps a low expansion one like shino itself, and a
high expansion one like a typical celadon.

In a recent firing I glazed the inside of four of my shino tea
caddies with a natural dug celadon. Those four cracked during and after the
cooling of the kiln. Doesn't happen when glazed inside and out with shino.

Good Luck in the Hunt! Hank in Eugene

hello everybody,
i have a shino question.
this just ended semester i was a special student at
our college here in town.
i signed up because i wanted to experiment and learn a
little bit about shino, so i needed access to a gas
kiln...(i know that ababi is working hard to come up
with the perfect electric-shino :-)))
anyway, before our very last firing i glazed my pots
in the last minute in a hurry.
after firing and unloading, i noticed two of my
bottles had cracks. they fell apart in my hands in a
rather interesting pattern and i noticed: in
the hurry, i forgot to glaze the bottles inside!
only those two broke which had no glaze inside.
was that the reason they broke? is this something
special to shino only?
why did they fell apart in a strange puzzle-like way?
any suggestions, please,
marta

Marta,

Did you glaze them raw or bisque? I have noticed this before with some
bisque pots--shino likes to rip pots apart. If you glaze one side, you must
wet the other--helps with expansion and contraction. If you glazed
raw--same expansion problem, just magnified.


Thank you.

dear hank,
thanks for answering!
you mean, four of YOUR shino pots cracked too?
well, i dont feel so bad anymore :-))
and, how do you know that yours cracked during and after the cooling of the
kiln? did you see throu your "window"?
really, can you know the egzact time of the cracking?
and, if yours were glazed inside with celadon, did you still get those
funny shaped, puzzle like cracks?

Mine cracked in a spiral fashion. I could hear them go below about 300F and
when I opened the kiln. Stopped glazing them on the inside with the
celadon. No more cracks.

Something wrong with this explanation but I don't have enough information
to actually make a difinitive statement about what is wrong.

What I need is the recipe of any shino glaze that is suspected of having
too low an expansion for the clay it's on - resulting in glaze dunting -
which this surely is.

Most Shino glazes are crazed - because of all that soda. Crazing (glazes
under tension) (glaze too small for the clay after cooling contraction.)

Crazed glazes do not break pots - make em easier to break but not by
themselves.

Could be - if a shino glaze had enough lithium and was on a body with
significant cristobalite - could make a pot break.

Anyway - to trouble shoot this I need the recipe and a description of the
clay body and firing cycle.

The other part of the statement below I don't understand - why would the
type of firing effect the expansion/contraction profile of clay and glaze -
don't they all wind up in the same ball park at the end?
