Does anyone know of a place where I can send a glaze or two to find out
whether I can put the glazes on plates or not?

I found them excellent for an XRF Semiquantative analysis of various ashes
and "Green" Raw Materials. Now I use the materials in the computer glaze
book with no problems. I am sure they have all kinds of other tests. Perhaps
they could test our new Nutrimugs and plates which designed to leach?

Hi Jim,
You can send them to
Alfred Analytical Laboratory
4964 Kenyon Road
Alfred Station, NY 14802
There are specific instructions for having glazes tested on my web site at
http://www.frogpondpottery.com/glazetest.html
There is other information about glaze stability on my site on other
pages including a list of glazes that have been tested by various clayart
members. Please consider sharing your results with us when you get them
so we can continue to learn together.

indifference before them depends upon their natures, and their natures
are inevitably projections of the minds of their creators." Bernard
