I was wondering if anyone could help me reproduce a glaze that I have
recently seen. It was a beautiful buttery off white with brown
speckels. The glaze has a soft satiny sheen and was a cone 6
oxidation.
I have tried many different combinations but have not yet come up
with the right ones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sandra,
Try working around this combination.
Nephaline Syenite 80
Whiting 20
China Clay 10
Silica 10
Tin Oxide 3
This glaze is based on materials which are found in Australia but this
should give you a buttery white. Make it off white by adding other
stains or oxides.

Sandy,
Here is a glaze I have developed for use in my classes:
Speckled Tin Tan ^6 ox
6.5 lbs Volcanic Ash
3.5 lbs Gerstley Borate
2.0 lbs EPK
Add:
1 lb Tin Oxide
1/4 cup rutile
1/8 cup GRANULAR rutile
1/8 cup RIO
A tan to off-white glaze (depending on thickness) with tiny brown and
tan specks. This glaze is nice on a white claybody, but is even more
interesting on Highwater's speckled brownstone with it's manganese
specks. Fired to ^6, the surface is satin and not too shiny. Be sure
to stir well before each use.
If you wished, you could use the clear base of your choice. A 5000 gram
batch might be a good place to start with these amounts of oxides.
Hope this helps.
