Some time ago I proposed that the bubbles in some glaze tests I had done =
were due to the release of Oxygen gas.
Well, it appears that this proposal may have some support and that my =
ideas were not without merit. Not only is it possible but it appears =
that the phenomenon can occur in an oxidising atmosphere. Those of you =
who have access to university archives may wish to check this one out.
Hostetter, J. C. and Roberts, H. S: J. Amer. Ceram. Soc. 1921, 4, =

Should anyone get access and read this I'm sure there are others who =
would like to know about this research into the colour of iron in =
glazes. It would be interesting to see how this information relates to =
Celadon Blues and how the size of the oxygen bubbles influence the =
visual character of this glaze style.

Dear Ivor,
Thanks for your response the other day on Epsom Salt.

This reference article you sited for Bubbles in Glaze Tests seems available
from the Library you mentioned. Would you mind telling me how to get hold
of this article? Thank you in advance. Mariko
