Partially and fully opacified cone 6 G1214Z1 matte glaze

Tuesday 30th April 2019

This is a calcium matte base (as opposed to the insight-live.com/glossary/146">magnesia matte G2934). The clay is Plainsman M390. 5% Zircopax was added on the left (normally 10% or more is needed to get full opacity, the partially opaque effect highlight contours well). 5% tin oxide was added to the one on the right (tin is a more effective, albeit expensive opacifier in oxidation). The PLC6DS firing schedule was used.
