Hi Bill,
That is really interesting. I like the way Mr. Peeler always tried to note
where his glazes came from. He often has "attributed to" by a glaze.
Is this the same glaze that some people call "Otto's Million Dollar" glaze
Kind of reminds me of the way professional athletes' make so much now. Rod
Laver, one of the greatest tennis players ever, was glad to make 100,000.00
a year, now a player of his stature makes millions just in endorsements, but
rarely mentions the great players of the past. (Sampres often brings up
Laver and the past greats like Rosewall and others.)
=====================================================================
I have in my notes from over 40 years ago the glaze you call Otto's
Swedish mat glaze. It is the exact same glaze to the percentage of the
materials. The name I have on the glaze is Hamada mat(Swedish) behind
it. I wonder who formulated the original I have in my notes. It is
probably Carlton Ball,
the glaze as he had it listed as Gmat3.

That Swedish matt has been around a long time, so I doubt if it's Otto's current yellow matt. He and Vivika were working on the "million dollar glaze" before she passed away and Otto's arrived at the current version after she was gone.
The old yellow recipe that Vivika gave me did not have barium in it. I didn't ask Otto's about his newest formula last time I saw him which was about 3 years ago, but I suspect it may be a tweeked version of Vivika's original yellow base.
Regards,
June

Rod Laver. That brings back memories. I delivered his mail a few times when
I worked at the Corona Del Mar Post Office. One of the window clerks had an
autograph model racket stowed under the counter and when Mr. Laver came up
to buy stamps they scraped off the "autograph" and had him sign for real.
Reminds me of Tom Sawyer down in Orlando. He will know what I mean.
