Ivor,
I too wondered what was meant by "Black Celadon" . Perhaps the
individual is making an Iron Saturate out of the base that they make
their Celadon glaze from. We have done the same and somewhat wrongly
called it "Tenmoku" which, is as you know, in some cultures a shape as
well as a glaze.
Best regards,

It's almost as bad as a "Carbon Trap Shino." In Japanese, Shino means white.

Dear Rick Mahaffey,=20
Yes, I would agree with you here.
But looking at the base recipe I think it would be a clear transparent =
colourless base to which anything could be added. Half to one percent =
Red Iron Oxide would turn it into a pale green under early reduction. =
Even less Black Iron Oxide would be needed. But whether it would have =
the other physical and optical attributes would be anyone's guess.
But If the chap likes it and it works well, why not use it. The black =
version sounds as though would make a fine canvas for opaque on glaze =
enamel decoration. Imagine a scatter of strong red dots and white =
slashes.
Best regards,
Ivor.=20
