20 Flint

5,0 Tin Oxide

Comment in C.M. A speckeld blue. Produces a variety of blues and =
browns when used with Plum and Cream.


Resulted in a stable, gloss bluish/grey even glaze.

Over Chris Wolff's Plum glaze, it did it's "thing" as described in the =
Ceramics Monthly. Gave a lot of nice streaking and opalescence like =
blues and pooling.
Personal: The light blue on it's own is a nice "dove" grey and it gives =
a very nice falling and streaking over the plum. I also like it because =
the receipe has such
easy proportions. I am drawn to round numbers.

Best regards,
Alisa in Denmark

Alisa, I am enjoying looking at your results. Thank you so much for doing so
much work! Would you mind sending the formula for the Plum Glaze?
