P300 and M370 mugs with GA6A Alberta Slip (using Frit 3249)

Tuesday 20th June 2017

Rather than the normal 80:20 AlbertaSlip:Frit3134 recipe, this one substitutes insight-live.com/material/369">Frit 3249 (super low expansion). The glaze is less runny and even glossier on these Plainsman porcelains. They are fired at cone 6 in a cool-and-soak firing. They survived an BWIW test (boiling water:ice water) without crazing (likely because of the low expansion of frit 3249). The finish is dazzling, a brilliant amber glass with no defects and perfectly even coverage. Of course, the iron in the glass prevents the colors of the blue underglaze from showing through. But the black is great.
