I am in the process of establishing a database of Chun recipes which fire
in the cone 8 to 10 range with the view to establishing the nominal limit
range (oxide molecular ratios) within which Chun glazes fall. Any help with
recipes or accurate seger formulas would be appreciated.
With thanks

According to Robert Fournier a Chun glaze does not contain pigment oxides
and
the milky bluish tinge arises from suspended globules of `glass in
glass`known as optical color. Joseph Grebanier in his book of "Chinese
Stoneware Glazes" offers recipies,mostly in the cone 9 to l0 range
reduction firing. Mia in rainy Albuquerque
