Hello,
I am in the need of a cone 10 - 11 reduction bright green glaze and
was wondering if you would have any that I could try. I have
received a large commission for carved mugs in a leaf pattern and
the city would like them to be as bright a green as possible. I
fire cone 10 -11 reduction and work with B-Mix. At the moment I do
not work with a green at all, but this order will probably be
ongoing and quite lucrative. It would need to be transparent to
translucent for the glaze to break nicely in the carving.
I would appreciate any direction that you could give me. I prefer
not to work with any barium in my studio.
Thank you for your time.

Heather,
Not sure what kind of "bright green" you need or what you will
use it for. Because Mashiko glazes are fired in oxidation, their
nuka green turns red in reduction. So I use Reeve Chrome Green to
decorate in resist windows. I found it here:

Dear Heather,
Do you have a clear that works for you?
how about adding mason stains to that?
they have a lot of greens, i have used
several doing the above and it is always
worked really well.
And it breaks on the carving..
just a thought....
