Hello Carissa,
Quite often the gray shino is a fat shino glaze over a blue slip. It
turns out a nice soft gray. I believe this was traditionally used in
Japan.

Hi All-

I have a Korean student who brought in a beautiful bowl from Korea and
she wants to replicate the glaze. It looks it might be a gray shino.
The glaze is a soft gray, shiney, w/small,uniform pinholing (that adds
to the beauty of this glaze) and some metallic speckling (maybe iron or
could it be added illemite?). The clay body is reduced and appears to
contain some Fe.

Anyone have a recipe for a gray shino? What do you think of adding
maybe nickle ox at .6% and co carb at .2% to a white shino?

Thanks,

Hello Carissa,

there are a few grey shino recipes in my report
on american shinos+pictures :

Do not feel impressed because the report is in French,
I am sure you can easily understand these recipes.
