Hello Sandy and all
I tried the deep purple glaze this weekend, and though the result was a
very beautiful satin-matt blue it wasn't purple. Did anyone have the same
experience?What did I do wrong? I'd love to have a purple ^6 glaze!!!!!
Thanks for your help.

If it was satin matt, it could have been slightly underfired.
