Hi Gary,

I've posted the Seger formula below - looks to me like a cone 10 glaze =3D2=
0
- so I am thinking you better be ready for some movement.

Gary,

according to Richard Zakin's Describ9,
it is an excellent category for transparent
glazes

Chemical analysis according to GlazeChem :

Na2O 0.04 Al2O3 0.43 SiO2 2.98
K2O 0.04 P2O5 0.00
MgO 0.45 TiO2 0.01
CaO 0.47 Fe2O3 0.01

Alumina:Silica ratio is 1.00:6.91
Neutral:Acid ratio is 1.00:6.94
Alk:Neut:Acid ratio is 1.00:0.43:2.99

Expansion: 57.8 x 10e-7 per degree C
