I believe that John got this recipe from one of my workshops. I call it
Dick Lehman Pink/Purple Matte, since it came from a Dick Lehman CM article
called "Steal This Glaze." Notice that the title is PINK purple matte. It
goes more pink than purple for me. Emily's Purple, quoted earlier, is
really, really purple!
You might try taking a matte or semi-matte recipe, delete the whiting and
substitute for it half talc and half dolomite. Then for colorants add 1.5-2
% Cobalt Oxide, and 2 % Tin Oxide. Those coloring oxides, in combination
with the magnesium, should give you a purple glaze.

Hope this helps,

Richard, you are absolutely correct, I did get this glaze from your
workshop. THANKS, it works great! However, I wanted to ask you about your
comment here. Would it not be Chrome rather than cobalt to mix with Tin to
get purple? I am testing glazes today so I'll check out, but I wanted to
ask. Thanks for your great workshop, do more and we'll attend.
