Cone 10R celadon at cone 6? Ravenscrag:Alberta GR6-N recipe.


Saturday 8th October 2016

Brilliantly glossy. The body is Plainsman Polar Ice insight-live.com/glossary/71">porcelain. Firing is cone 6 oxidation. The reduction fired effect is particles (or agglomerates) from one of the raw metal oxides in the recipe (iron, cobalt, rutile; most likely the cobalt). If this glaze were ball milled the effect would be lost. Even though the glaze is so glassy, it is not running down off at the foot. The blue where it thickens on contours is because of the rutile, this can be removed for a truer Celadon effect (if it is not causing the specks).
