I'll bet that when you use a white temmoku on a cone 10 terracotta body, you
get a black glaze. Whadaya think?

i cannot help myself.

i am working on a pure `white` temmoku.
then, i am turning to a `green` copper red.
but, the creme de la creme

`jet black` fat white.

there are a few sacred things left in clay.
one is celedon. the softest of sea green, almost
gray green or to a soft gray blue if you are lucky.
it has history. try and make it. you will love it.
if you succeed.
celedon is like love, you will know it when you see it and
experience it.

Mel, you should know that this type of glaze will only work on that famous
cone 04 porcelain body.

Vince - reduced or oxidised?

With or without peanut butter?
