Dear Les
Over the years definitions have evolved along with scientific know how
eg Wales have become mammals when once they were fish.
I think a modern definition for a shino that encompasses the most of what
I have experienced is 'a stoneware glaze that contains little or preferably
no calcium or magnesium'.
Some where there is a stone ware glaze fitting my definition that is
made with out calcium but with boron or barium or lithium. We would not
recognize it as a shino even if it does fit my definition. But only some mad
ceramic sculptor would need to make a glaze like it and maybe one would have
to start questioning the definition of 'glaze' its self if we get that
finicky.
