glaze error question

We mixed up a ^10 celadon today and mistakenly added red copper oxide instead of iron. Dang.
Can any of you glaze experts anticipate what will happen with this? I will go ahead and test it.
Help please.

Hi Jude,

My guess, and that's all it is, would be some form of copper red, as I'm
assuming you're firing this in reduction given that its a celadon. I would not
expect a great red though given the high alumina content.

Let us know the results of your test.

Thanx
