Hi Carole,
I learned from Carlton Ball, (many years ago) that a pot with a crackle
glaze can be soaked in a solution of sugar water and then dried and "baked"
in an oven to caramelize the sugar, thus turning the lines dark. One would
need to test for the best strength of the solution. Wiping India ink on will
work as well.
Best Wishes, Debbie

Hi Debbie.
Sounds interesting, but the method I am talking about involved treating the
pot before firing, not after. I do believe it was called Candy Raku. I think
the potter's name was Jerry Kaplan?

I used to spray sugar water on a white crackle glaze after taking it out and
letting it breath awhile. The sugar has a carmelizing affect while the
water fascilitates cracking. I have found that if you let the white glaze
sit out a bit and then reduce it making sure there is enough smoke, it works
fine.
Thank you.
