If these messages are repeats , please forgive. I did not see them
come through on the posts though I sent them two weeks ago. Hopefully we
have not inundated Richard. I hardly can get my mail read as it is.
A studio mate at the university (who doesn't know how to use the
computer) would appreciate a recipe for this glaze. I have seen it and it
looks like a glossy mid-toned turquoise. The gal who had it called it Gil's
water blue. I don't even know which cone to look under but did manage to
look some similar sounding glazes on the clayart archives. I've tried the
SDSU glazebase but never get access;;;;;;; Any assistance would be
appreciated.

Carol,
Gill's water blue is an 04 transparent turquoise. If it is the same one
that I have used (73% frit 3110) it crazes like crazy, and looks best
over white slip or white earthenware.
As an alkaline blue, one wonders what the make up would be to make it not
craze yet still maintain the same rich quality ( using lithium and
strontium I would imagine).

Paul and Carol : You could try the following:
Strontium 5
Lithium 10
Whiting 10
Zinc 10
Kaolin 22
Flint 42
Frit 3110 5
This should give a non-crazing alkaline blue with 3% copper carb but I
dont know how transparent it would be compared with Gil's water blue.
