Lisa-
Don't know what temperature you are firing nor if it is a reduction
or oxidation environment, but here is a recipe that covers a very wide
range 5-9 in both ox and reduction. It is a reliable glaze that I got a
while back from a post on ClayArt.
Val Turquoise
Custer Feldspar 27.6
Gerstley borate 16.87
Flint 21.32
Whiting 8.82
Dolomite 2.9
Copper carbonate 2.34
Bentonite 0.8
Mary in Charleston... who, thanks to the fellow ClayArtists, has
restored most of her clay links and bookmarks (and has acquired a whole
lot more). I also broke down and bought a tape backup system for this
pesky computer.

Hi!
I made allot of testing out a base I had and was hard to use.This one I
send here is the best so far works from1100C(maybe even lower) up to
1240C-Oxidation.As it contains ALLOT of sodium, it`s a crackle glaze.
Turquoise
Silica 46
Whiting 9
Soda Ash 26
Soda Feldspar 5
Cryolite 14
Barium Carb.5
Copper Carb.3.6
For more Blue Copper Ox. Instead of the carb.
Can add About 0.1%of cobalt Ox.
Can add 1 % Granular Ilimenite.
And can Join me On my searching of the most beautiful Turquoise, and good
Crackle Glazes.
good Luck
Ababi

Potash Feldspar 49.0
Hyplas 71 9.0 (or any high silica ball clay)
bentonite 1.0
Barium Carbonate 27.0
Whiting 14.0
Copper carbonate 2.5
the colour response is quite sensitive and dependent on the clay body.
It also seems to go bluer when fired as fast as possible.
Hope this is of interest
Best regards,
