1 Bentonite

Tea Dust
50 Potash

The one below is one I have used in the past. It is for Cone 9 -10
reduction and a beautiful rust red, but with the zinc it runs easily. I
liked it very much; however, it was too difficult to control so gave it up
in favor of Leach Kaki Persimmon, a wonderful glaze with similar color,
though not quite as lively.
