Someone wrote that their floating blue turns green if the firing is not
high enough. A production potter in my building (Joy Friedman) regularly
fires to cone 4 or 5 and never has this problem. Her assertion is that
the glaze has to be thick enough or it yields that ugly brown-green. Is
that the green everyone is referring to or is a cobalt green being
formed somehow?
There are lots of other blues out there without tormenting yourselves
with such a persnickity pain in the butt glaze. I tend to like glazes
that are bulletproof.(If there is such a glaze)
