Hi all !

Please help me find the perfect matt jade green glaze.
I need a barium free and food safe recipe, that will give a matt or satin
surface at cone 7-8 oxidation .

thanks,

Naama in Israel

Naama in Israel,

You might try a variation on Bernard Leach's Copper Red Glaze, eliminating
the red lead and firing it to ^8 in an electric kiln:
Feldspar 55
Limestone 22
Quartz 14
Tin oxide 3
Cuprous oxide 2 or Copper carbonate
