Here's another cone 9 oxidation glaze I haven't been able to reproduce
at Cone 6, Verdigris:

I wanted to thank everyone for answering my question on why people
fire Cone 10 electric (vs. Cone 6).
I didn't realize that certain effects could be achieved in electric
at the higher temps than at mid temps. I especially enjoyed the
copper yellows that Hank posted - really nice! Lee - can you point
out on your blog where some of your 03 pots are? I have been looking
but thought low fire pots were usually quite bright and everything
I've seen looks like it would be maybe wood fired? You have me
curious on that.
Thanks to *everyone* for their well thought out answers. I will be
saving and re-reading each one. I bought a used L&L and have been
reading all I can on firing and am learning as I go.
Nancy

Low-fire CAN be bright, since many colorants which
burn out at higher temps remain vivid at low cones.
That doesn't mean that you've got to use them, though!
Rembrandt had access to all the same colors that
Rubens did...
