The way I was taught about oribe is that you fire it in reduction like all the
other glazes and then you oxidize at the end . If you take an oribe pot and
go through the surface you will see that it is copper red underneath.
so the oxygen hits the pot and changes the red to green on the surface of the
pot.
I would think that firing the glaze with the iron saturates, witch need a
lighter reduction would help the glaze, but I have seen the glaze come out
great with shino on the same pot
but just remember shino first of shino cursed when applying glazes
the glaze we used in school is as follows
randys green/oribe
silica 16
ball 10
whiting 9
opax 7
dolomite 6
BaCo3 13
custer 21
f/4 18
CuCo3 5 or 6
tin ox 4
bent 2%
