Glaze test for Crystal Glaze, Mocha/Gray cone 6 ox.
Glaze tested on white midrange stoneware fired in electric oxidation to =
1220c.

Firing ramp:
100c up/he to 600c (212f - 1112f)
150c up/he to 1100c (330f - 2012f)=20
100c up/he to 1220c (212f - 2228f)
cool down max. per hour to 1100c=20
cool 80c per hour to 800c
shut off kiln

Recipe:
1.0 Kaolin
22 Flint
28.5 Zinc oxide
48.5 Borax Frit

ADD
8 Rutile
2 RIO
0.5 Cobalt Carb.

Note: All raw materials are measured up or down to the nearest whole =
decimal. =20
Colorants or additives to a 100 gram test batch are measured in percent =
to the 100 gram test batch.

Substitutions: None
Results:
A fluid gloss glaze with a mocha ground with white and grey streaking. =
Pooling has deeper brown color with streaking.
Did not produce crystals in this test but otherwise a very decorative =
glaze for rims or bowl interiors.

This hardly deseves to be called a glaze - way low in both silica and
alumina - I tried it with several boron frits and the story was always bad
news in terms of stability - zinc is way over supplied - try some orange
juice after it has been close to this glaze for 15 min.

It may be a crystal glaze Ron,
but with frit 3110
and holding at 1055 or so 1-3 hours
Foodsafe? Stable? Cannot be with the very high zinc and 0.1-0.4 mole of alumina.
To Alisa.
You make so many and so interesting tests. I have the feeling that you take the
materials like they were names. Borax frit for borax frit
one can be high sodium the other high lead and the third high alumina. You get
interesting results you make new glazes, but if we write about traveling glazes, I think
you miss it!
Your Middle Eastern fan!
