I am looking for a glaze for some tiles that has the look of stones, running
from beige to grey to cream with a matt finish. Anyone know of such a
glaze? And if not,how about a glaze that goes matt gray?
Thanks
christine

Christine,
For a stone like surface, try these cone 10 glazes. Let us know how they work.
Vals Matt - cone 10 reduction
650 Silica
3260 Kaolin
2540 Feldspar
420 Whiting
3100 Dolomite
This glaze goes to the matt grey that you mentioned.
====================
Stony - cone10 reduction
3340 Feldspar
1100 Dolomite
200 Whiting
660 Talc
1540 Kaolin
====================
Stony White Matt - cone 10 reduction

Test this glaze for barium release if used on food surface or try
substituting Strontium Carbonate for the barium.

A satin matt, sort of stoney white but could go grey with a touch of
cobalt & iron, fires cone 9 to 11 but I prefer cone 10.
Cornwall Stone 60
Dolomite 20
EPK 20
This is my favortie glaze and I've used it for the past six years.
Unfortunately, I neglected to record the source and I would appreciate
it if anyone on Clayart might know its origin.

Hi Christine!
Have you tried a shino glaze? The shinos I've used will produce a grey stony
(not matt, not shiny) finish if you coat the ware a bit thickly. Thin
applications produce a brown stony surface. There are a wealth of Shino
glazes in the archives. Most fire to cone 10 reduction.
