just wanted to add alittle to what mishy stated.. yes lizella can be fired
up to cone 8. they state that it can be fired to cone 6 but i have fired up
to cone 8 with no problems.the higher the temp the darker the color. i have
also been told... dont know if its true or not but that it does have a
problem holding liquid after a time. i dont do funtional so its not a
problem for me. its wonderful for handbuilding which i do almost
exculsively.
