Hi, Fabienne.
I get a glaze at cone 4 in oxidation that looks very much like celadon
by mixing my scrap glaze with an opaque white glaze half-and-half by
volume. The scrap by itself is a dark green, as I'm sure your cone 9
scrap is.
Good luck,

Hi,

Try your best clear glaze with about 1% red iron oxide (preferably ball
milled wet with some silica from the recipe) and add 1/8 of a percent of
cobalt carb. The blue and yellow from the iron will form a nice celadon
color on a white body.

For a dark celadon I have used French Green stain. I think it was 6%
(sorry that stuff is at school, maybe).

As always YMMV (your milage may vary).

Hope this helps.

Hello folks, :)

I finished rummaging the archive, but could not find what I need. I would
appreciate if anyone had information/recipes on faux celadon that would
fire at cone 9 oxidation whatever the color. I plan on adapting it to my
needs.


TIA,

Faye

PS I can't fire in reduction and love the look :)

Yes, I have learned from my mistakes...
I can reproduce them exactly.

Dear Fabienne,
Try this. It is a regular ^9 reduction celedon. Change the iron to copper
and to make it grayer add .2 black stain. Sieve well. I used a 40 mesh
and got blue spots.
Celedon (from a divider in my 30+ year old glaze notes)
F-4 55.6
Whiting 40
Kaolin 40.7
Silica 67.2
Red Iron 2
Change the iron to .75 or .5 copper carb. and .2 black stain for more gray/blue
