hello there....
I just recently did a test that yeilded a blue celadon..... not sure what a
robin's egg blue celadon is..... but this is a blue celadon....
it is a revised version of tony hansen's base G1947U ^10 reduction
which by the way is a really great glossy transparent glaze base...
custer feildspar-------25
EPK----------------------19
flint------------------------35
whiting-------------------19
zinc oxide---------------2
RIO------------------------1 (for a blue celadon)
this test was done on Mile High clay body "4010" a cone 10 gray body

>>>>>>>My sweetie has expressed a wish for a robin's egg blue celadon. I
remember
reading a magazine article recently that said that trace amounts of
titanium in the kaolin clays readily available in the U.S. (kaolin present
in either the clay body or glaze recipe) will push celadon toward green or
gray-green rather than blue. We fire a light stomeware to cone 10-12 in
reduction, but can't afford to go Grolleg, and all the celadon tests we've
ever run have been green or greenish. Any suggestions or recipes?
Thank you! Kate in Florida, an off-and-on lurker<<<<<<<<<<<
