Thank you for the 04 glazes. =20

What I am trying for at c.6 and also (mainly for Kate's use) c.04 is the =
lead-look. I have tried a number of things, and now have reached a few =
conclusions--all temporary no doubt.

For one: I may need to use a slip over the earthenware body. I am =
thinking a couple of Mason stains, peach, orangy things--as probably =
being more reliable than rutile. I also am thinking of spraying a thin =
wash of same over the slip decorated plates before bisquing and then =
glazing.

The slight opalescence from the boron, if very slight indeed, could =
help, I think, or do I mean hope?
