Don, Thanks for the info, purchasing the ready made glaze would be expensive because I make my glazes in 5 gal buckets, which is what I need because I dip all my pots. I Make woven bowls and trivets and could not imagine brushing or spraying them. Love your web site, have a great evening,

June,
Looks like you're right about the archives. In the last 9 years, only 44
mentions of burgundy, and most of those aren't recipes. If you don't want
to test all the variants of chrome-tin until you find one that suits you,
you could buy a commercial glaze. I've used the Burgundy from Mid-South
Ceramic Supply (one of their Opulance Glazes), and it turned out perfectly
on my buff stoneware. It might save you a lot of searching. If you have
Axner's new catalog, it's on page B-104.

Hope this helps,

Hello gang,

Was wandering if anyone had a true burgandy ^5/6 glaze. I have searched every archive and site I could find with no luck. I have Mastering cone 6 glazes but the raspberry is to pink/red, needing a true burgandy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

This glaze was mentioned in the original post, but the poster said it was
too bright red for them. The solution above is the one I'd go for. Add
little cobalt to make it more purple, a little iron to tone it down, maybe a
little manganese to darken it. Shouldn't take much of any of those. You
just need to do some line blends.

Do you have Hessleberth & Roy's book on
Oxidation Glazes? They have a wonderful glaze in there,
called Raspberry....it is not exactly a burgundy, but bet you could do some
tests and
turn it into a darker red?
Good luck!

The best Cone 6 burgundy glaze I have found is June Perry's glaze at
http://www.angelfire.com/art2/shambhalapottery/c6glazegroup4.html

For me it comes out a smooth deep apple red with a waxy apple skin feel. I
usually brush on three coats. It will break white if it is thin.

I'd suggest using a burgundy glaze stain, such as a Mason stain (check the
stain and see which materials it's compatible with), and adding that to a
clear or opaque glaze. Some tests will be needed to determine the correct
percentage of stain to add, but I'd start with 10% stain.
