If you have any experience with the above subject then please let me
know... Edgecomb Potters have done very well with their mastery of this
glaze. They were featured about 2 years ago in CM....

You folks are gluttons for punishment! Reds and now crystallines?! I have
tried several crystallines in gas and electric. The first one in the
article (which I named EC-1 for Edgecomb crystalline 1) I added copper 2
and cobalt 1/2 (both carbonates) and fired a wall piece. It had a
delightful uneven crystalline structure. In some places there were no
crystals but the glaze had a depth that was beautiful. Other places the
crystals were moderately tight and other places they look like stars
against a dark night sky. I refired a couple of pieces from the unit in
electric since they were underfired and they came out with a tight uniform
crystal surface. I slow cool these, no matter what the kiln. My cooling
rate is 100 per hour at the most when I shut the kiln down. That goes for
both, although the electric cools so slowly I try to fire it only when I
have to. (It has 3" of 8 pound blanket around it.)
