This piece on Ebay is a rare one by Otto Heino.If you are not
familiar with his work, this would be the time to get familiar. He
rediscovered a glaze that the ancient Chinese masters had mistakenly
lost about 3 centuries ago. He is the only one in the world with this
glaze and when he is gone, it will be lost once again, due to the
fact that the glaze recipe is committed to memory and not written
down. Don't miss your chance to bid on this piece with an
extrodinarly LOW price.
GOOD LUCK,
CHRIS

Not quite, Chris....he sold the recipe to the Japanese.

Dear Chris,
The objective is to make a successful bid and donate the piece to Nigel =
Wood for a full analytical appraisal. Then the glaze Program Gurus can =
design appropriate substitute recipes for general distribution.
Not a thing I would do. The unforseen consequences would be disastrous.
Best regards,

Dear Ivor.
Have you any idea what particular Chinese yellow is being talked about , I
have never come across one that was not Amber or an enamel - what Dynasty
and from what kiln site, Or is this some boast that got out of control.
Yellow doesn't seem too difficult a problem in a high alumina ash glaze .
or an oxidize lime matt glaze or an oxidize titanium glaze, even a little
vanadium or iron in a talk saturated glaze should get there. Or am I missing
some subtlety or worst comes to worst a blend of stains . I shall have to
do a few tests.
I looked at Otto's site some nice splash glazing which is more difficult
than it looks - mine comes out too contrived looking but that's maybe the
way I am looking at it.
Unforeseen consequences ? . I hope it would not replace floating blue
that would be a shame.
