For the rich, earthy look of worn and polished stone, Duncan offers two
versatile products-- River Rock and Stonewashed Glazes. Each is nearly
identical to the other as to decorating techniques and application. River
Rock Glaze produce a gloss finish. Stonewashed Glaze fire to a satin sheen.
Both are embedded with color flecks that give them their mineral
resemblance.
[image: country Hand crafts]River Rock and Stonewashed Glazes flow very
little in the firing process, making them suitable for techniques such as
majolica, sponging and glaze-butting. Both are nontoxic, overglaze
compatible and safe for use on food containers.

I like that glaze and wonder why Duncan quit making it. I think it
probably had lead frit in it. Duncan has said in the past that some
of their leaded glazes were food safe and that can be true if you
know what you are doing. But how many of us do know how to handle the
stuff. Not me.
I really liked it on my local earthenware clay on the outside of mugs.
I thought I could make some myself and use a non lead base glaze.
The River Rock I liked is a sort of aqua green cone 06 glosssy glaze
with a lot of black and white higher firing glaze bits in it. About
40 mesh stuff. So I fired some cone 6 black and some white seperately
and ground them up and screened the fines and coarse stuff out and
got a few ounces of black and white grog.
I made the grog a while back and got sidetracked . I found the
prepared black and white glaze grog a few days ago on my cluttered
workbench. I shall have to have a go at it again.

I sent this a couple of days ago, and it disappeared into the ether.
Here it is again.

Duncan River Rock was a glaze line that Duncan used to produce; it
was a low-fire glaze which many people used at ^6. It didn't contain
lead. Duncan stopped making it 2 or 3 years ago. I have tried all the
textured glazes out there and I can tell you that none of them do the
same thing as the River Rocks did. I am unable to duplicate the
effect on my own. I ended up going online and buying up as many
bottles as I could get, of the colors I use, for the couple of my
production pieces that use them; when I run out, I will have to stop
making those pieces!
