Regarding the Seacrest Purple, we have been using it at our school for as long
as I've been there. It is a glossy glaze, a very deep blue primarily, and
often has flecks of gold and rust, depending on the firing. If applied too
thin it is an ugly brown; if applied too thick it becomes milky. I have only
seen the glaze go reddish purple on a white clay body with moderate reduction.
It is a good glaze. By the way, it breaks a rich brown over texture.
