..Was to remind you, the small bowl I got from Marta.
In fact I meant mainly to use it with RIO.

The point was: To create in an electric kiln an appearance of soda glazed ware.
Therefore I sprayed thin layer.
Actually I did not go on - I was driven to other directions. A high alkaline glazes
without creasing is like a pizza without cheese!
Here is the recipe

different % of RIO
in one case my dogmatic way of an add of: 3% BLACK COPPER OXIDE!
The reason I must repeat the test is one: This time I will sieve the glaze to have the
RIO spreads around though I am not sure it will be nicer.
