Does anyone know of a colorant addition, metallic oxide/carbonate or =

TIA.

I have the book
Tin glazed Earthenware
by Daphne Carnegy
I highly recommend it to anyone who is doing tis kind of work
people in the book put about 1/2% of rutile in the glaze to make it off white
thanks good luck

Raphael -
If you are firing oxidation, you can get nice tans with varying percentages
of rutile, or a combination of rutile and iron.
Good luck -

To get a tan color majolica base try adding some rutile. I would do some
tests with different percentages to see what amount gives you the color
you want. Start with a small amount, one eighth and work your way up to
around two percent. Hope this helps you out Rafael.

Try 1% rutile---I loved the results! In fact, just made a fresh bucketful.
