Fired on mid fire white stoneware



Firing ramp with an electric controller is:
100c p/h to 600c (212f - 1112f)
150c p/h to 1140c (302f - 2084f)
80c p/h to 1220c (176f - 2228f)
15 min. soak
cool down max. to 900c (1652f)
Hold 1 hour
Shut off kiln



Recipe:

20 Frit 3134

20 Dolomite

20 Spodumene

20 Ball Clay

20 Silica

100 gram



ADD

10 Titanium Dioxide

6 Rutile





Note: All raw materials are measured up or down to the nearest half
decimal. Colorants or additives to a 100 gram batch are measured in percent
to the 100 gram batch.



Results:

Semi gloss, smooth, semi opaque glaze. Caramel (Butterscotch!) ground where
thinner, with a white, streaked shell where thicker. Overall orange
speckling that appears only in the white streaks. This glaze breaks
markedly over edges, with a high contrast between thinner and thicker.

The expansion on this glaze is on the low side - could be a problem on some
clay bodies - test carefully - RR
