Dannon, you are probably right.. And for sure, i usually think you
are..!!!!! . But,, with all the underglaze work being done in the
world..both low and high fire.. wouldn't clear glaze be the "clear "choice?
( sorry about that). Jim in Denton........

Yes, indeed, clear - but celedon-type glazes ARE clear,
unless they have iron (or other) oxides. I use the
same base glaze for almost all of the gloss glazes here,
and it is a celedon-type. It's my favorite clear of
all time (because it fits our "dirty porcelain" with
nary a crackle). Of course, ours is made up of processed
clays etc., so I don't have to have iron in it unless
I want it there. Celedons made from "backyard" clays
generally have some iron.

We may need to determine catagories. It depends of if you mean "true" celedon or
celedon-like. The same would go for temoku or any high iron glaze (temoku-like).
It would be interesting to hear from the school programs what glazes are available
and which ones seem to be the most utilized. Would schools account for a large
percent of glaze use or the studio and hobby potteries?
