Hi All,
One of my students wants to study Chinese "Imperial" Yellow glazes. I
think these are Iron Yellow glazes, but I am not sure. does anyone have
an idea where to start or to look for information? I have tried my
books, except Parmalee, and have not found any information.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance,

Imperial yellow is the really old stuff, over
800 years ago, as I understand the lit. So
you would need to look to very simple glaze
compounds. The yellow and the green were the
first colors the chinese perfected and the
yellow is very yellow, a pure clean almost
smiley face yellow. There are many ways you
can generate it but for purity, you will need
to wood fire in a dragon kiln and use coarsely
mixed colorants.
That is all I know about it, if I had a
recipe I would share it.

Rick,
Try Nigel Wood's new book, "Chinese Glazes." It is one of the best books
on historic glazes I have ever seen, Tichane's attempts included.

Addall.com and wound up gettigng it in two days from Barnes & Noble for
$28.41 delivered. Great Book! Hank in Eugene

I am not expert, but I have a feeling that the bright, clear "Imperial
Yellow" was an on-glaze enamel. Effectively a fritt with oxide addition
which is more than likely not food safe. I will stand corrected, but that is
what I have always thought.

Rick,
The book, Chinese Glazes contains a lot of historical and technical
information, The author is Nigel Wood, and it can be purchased from
University of Pennsylvania Press in Philadelphia. $50 I think.

You could try this \ Chris
Nans Majolica ^ 7\8
Kona F-4 46.1 46.1%
Frit 3124 13.5 13.5%
Flint 19.7 19.7% Hazard!
Dolomite 5.9 5.9%
Whiting 8.2 8.2%
Zinc oxide 3.9 3.9% Hazard!
EPK 2.7 2.7% Hazard!
-------- ------
100 100 %
Tin oxide 5. 5 %
Zircopax 5 . 5 %
Add up to 8. Vanadium stain in Ox. Fire
I would test all the Majolica Glazes Base I could find and adjust the
Opacifiers.
Tin ox. Zinc ox. And the Zircopax.
I would stay with the 8. on the Vanadium stain I'm sure it will need it,
Ming Yellow is very Yellow.
good Luck Chris ;^)

Cliff Lee does Yellow Glazes, real Yellow glazes. I believe he fires to Cone
15.
That may make a difference!

Dear Rick
I know that you were looking for Chinese yellow glazes. I have an
alternative source which I will send as an attachment. Sharon31 had sent this
source to some one else at Clayart and although Japanese in origin it may
answer or lead you to other avenues.
