I have recently put my gas firing on hold and have turned back to my
electric kiln. This is old familiar territory for me. I fire my students
work at 6^ and am not excited by these glazes for my own work. I worked at
^8-10 oxidation. Although gas firing may not be "the holy grail" it has
different properties that can't be duplicated in the electric kiln.
(toasting clay, flashing, reduction colors) Let's not start a war over
this! We all have opinions.
The one glaze that I am having trouble substituting for is Celadon. I need
a Celadon "behaving" glaze. That is, a clear/transparent, pale glaze that
highlights carving and pools the way Celadon does. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. I have thought of Mason stains, but don't know which
one works in which base glaze
Any other contributions of knockout glazed for porcelain or stoneware
between 6^-10 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Mason has a 'celadon green'. Put it in a transparent glaze. If the glaze
has some suspended bubbles that will really help its highlighting. A
little
zircopax (i.e. 4%) would be another option to enhance highlighting
properties.
