oribe type green glaze request

updated mon 31 mar 97

 

June Perry on wed 8 may 96

I have been trying unsuccessfully, so far, in getting a cone ten reduction,
oribe type green. Does anyone out there have a recipe they are willing to
share? The green I want is a deep, rich similar to a hunter green with an
almost metallic shine at times. Kind of the look you get when you at the the
top of the oxide saturation point.

Thanks!

June: I have used this oribe as an accent glaze only. Thick it is green with
a shine, but not a gloss to it. Thin, it is pink (reduced). I found that
flung from a brush through a seive will produce light pink fine spatter.
I use it with a chun that has tin oxide, but no other colorant and a semi
matt white, from a potter by the name of Yanigara. If you like the way it
behaves, Ill send the Yanigara rx as well. It is a favorite of mine.

This may be what you're looking for:
ORIBE GREEN ^10 ox. or red.
Flint 16
Ballclay 10
whiting 9
dolomite 6
barium carb. 13
custer spar 21
Kona f-4 spar 18

tin ox. 4
zircopax 7
copper carb. 6

I've used this glaze with and without the opacifier(s), and fired it
exclusively in reduction, which does give the metallic sheen you are
describing.

Hi June,

This is Oribe recipe I use.

Oribe C10R

Custer Feldspar 80.00%
Whiting 20.00%
100.00%

Add:
Copper Carbonate 5.00%

It produces nice deep green with, sometimes, metalic shine.

Good Luck!

Dear Donald:

Some time ago you may an offer to give me tha Yanigara glaze. I would love to
have it. I've tried some of the Oribes and they are really nice. I tried one
over my shino and next to the shino and really liked the results.

Thanks!
June

June: I got this Rx from CM some years ago. It was touted to be a good glaxe
to paint on. I found it to be a perfect buttery matt stable glaze to cone
10+. That oribe over it is dynamite. Thin it is pink!!, thicker it is
green. I shoot it off a brush through a screen for a fine speckle and the
remove the screen ( read strainer ) and throw it on\at the pot with a brush.
It is effective for a casual design and fun. I found it best on a white body
and that westwood granite is terrific. Have a ball. If SMr. Yanigara is
lurking out ther, take a bow.
