I don't know how much difference there is between the three but would be
curious to know. The glaze that I would be making up is the following:


Rhodes Black: ^9/10 reduction:

Albany Slip 75
Neph Syenite 20
Cobalt Oxide 5

(I typically subtitute with cobalt carb and use 1.5 times more of the carb
than the oxide) Also if you know sources and pricing for the True Albany
Slip, I would be interested to know, however, I don't think that it is
worth what the owners charge for it. TIA...Marshall

Easiest receipe for black I ever used:

100 Albany slip
10 Cobalt ox

Have also done this with alberta slip, also a nice black

note: these are fired ^10 ox.
