Needing a 03 Majolica red. Not crimson. RED. Like
Plastic. Yes I'm succumbing to the market place
for the color of red plastic for the hummingbird
feeders. The birds don't care but the stores and
their customers do.

Have you tried china paints? (overglaze enamels)
You can fire your glaze to ^03, then apply the
reds as a final low-temp firing.
