There was a query posted recently looking for a celadon glaze in
oxidation. The following is a Ron Roy revision of a ^10 oxidation
celadon-type glaze that he adjusted for me:
Base Glaze:
Custer 33
Whiting 18
Strontium 3
Flint 30.5
EPK 15.5
TOTAL 100
Add:
Any Mason stain 15
Ron advised that the stronium would preserve certain stain colors
better.
I tried this out on Mac clay using 12% stain instead of 15%. Got
varying results depending on the stain used:
Florentine French -- good color, but way too matt
French Green -- great color, stain matt, but no depth
Vivid Blue -- Color ok, but way too matt
Deep Crimson -- a keeper: nice glossy oxblood red, breaks on texture
Old Gold -- Definitely gold, satin matt, breaks on texture
Medium Blue -- Great glossy cobalt blue
This glaze needs to be dipped, not brushed. Has been known to crawl
off edges when used on porcelain.
Good luck and be well!
