My experience also has been a surprise. There is very little
literature on higher fired earthenware.

Just like how the initial copper scare was based upon copper's ability
to allow lead to leach but has been illogically extrapolated to all
copper glazes, all the literature is related to earthenware fired at
low temperatures.

Hi Lee,

Got any test results to back that up?

Want some test results to back up the fact that copper promotes =3D20
instability in all glazes - read our book.
