Hello, Friedlover.

I've sent a couple of posts to the list with this firing info (which I
carelessly left out), but lots of people didn't see it, so I'll send this
again. It's all Fahrenheit.

Oxidation--electric
Fired to 2100 at 300/hr
To 2200 at 100/hr
Hold 45 minutes
Cool to 1800 naturally
Hold 1 hour
Cool to 800 at 100/hr
Cool naturally.
Cone 6 down half-way (not a full ^6)
Brown, smooth stoneware clay.

Sorry about leaving it off--that was a late night when I posted those tests.
Any further questions, please feel free to write. :)
