The following glaze is attributed to Richard Zakin at
http://lsv.ceramics.org/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9907&L=CLAYART&P=R52791

Emerald Transparent
nepheline syenite 51g
Gerstley borate 22g
Wollastonite 14g
EPK 8g
zinc oxide 3g
copper carbonate 3g
titanium dioxide 2g

As published, this is a watery glaze that runs almost completely
off the pot at cone 6. Does anyone have the Zakin book in which
it was published? Was it really for cone 6?
