Oh, Tom! Thank you!
I hoped someone would offer to test this idea...that the ancient Chinese =
=3D
used blood to help glaze adhere to the pot, and the iron in it created =3D
celadons. =3D20
And there is Tom, braving wild boars (or is that bores?) to try this.
I am reading Hetherington right now to see is there is where I found the =
=3D
original statement..Which appealed to me because, since I first learned =3D
about it, I wondered how the marginal/minimal amount of iron and/or =3D
copper were introduced before delicate scales were around...And I =3D
doubted then, as now, that early potteries meted/could mete out glaze =3D
ingredients with laboratory precision.=3D20
Seemed logical that. indeed, an incidental glaze =3D
additive...blood...would supply the iron. Just as I suspect much of the =
=3D
copper that led to copper reduction colors was provided =3D
incidentally/accidentally by "contamination" from brass or bronze tools =3D
or storage jars.
Happy hunting, Tom, and many thanks. =3D20

You could see if the celadons produced at high altitude were richer in iron=
t=3D
han those down in the valleys, I.e. more iron rich blood. Wink wink

No, not if we load up our blood donator/victim with erythropoietin.

Just thinking about how much iron is in your blood is the place I
would start. A quick search google search turned up this info...
------------------------------------------------
One pint of blood contains 250 milligrams of iron.
An average sized human body contains around 10 pints of blood.
250 x 10 =3D 2500 milligrams of iron. So in a gallon and a half of
blood you have 2.5 grams of iron.
To get a feel for how much iron is in your bloodstream simply pick up
one US Cent and hold it in the palm of your hand. According to the
usmint website the Cent weighs exactly 2.5 grams.
Note that this does NOT account for iron outside the bloodstream.

I gather a lot of 'Royalty' also did or does ( have 'Blue Blood' )...
Being as some of them here and there may be on the skids, they'd likely =3D
sell a few pints for some Crack or MD2020 money...
Blood, Milk, and Egg Yolks/Whites are of course the ancientmost =3D
ingredients/basis of early Paints and adhesives/Glues...( and are still =3D
used in these capacities ).
It would seem entirely to be expected that ancient Potters would have =3D
experimented with or used these in their Glazes in various ways.
