And you will say: Shame on you Ababi
You will see it as a part of my "combination", above this revised glaze. I improved the
glaze by decreasing the feldspar adding frit that gave me room for more kaolin that
was very low in the first recipe I used. Both recipes are good, according to your raw
materials:

The glaze is very similar to Xavier , glossier.
You may try to add copper oxide 5'6,7, until it start being gray green, than I belive will
be in its best


Merry glazing and happy poting
