I have used Duncan Celadon, IN 1018 Envision glaze on porcelean bisqued
at cone 06 and then again to 06. I like the color as the major coloring
for my mirror frames. However, unlike a really good celadon at cone 10
there is not strong tendency of darker pigments to collect in the
indentations of leaf prints (leaf venation). Does anyone have any
suggestions for how I might enhance those low places. What about adding
iron oxide to the Duncan 1018 or mixing with another glaze???
