I have read that Marguerite Wildenhain always fired in oxidation. Can
anyone give more information on that, or where I could learn more about her
techniques? I haven't read her books, but have the impression they are more
philosophical than technical, or am I wrong on that?

i dont think barb wanted to make "fake" stuff.
she has an electric kiln and she asked if someone can help her to make a
glaze which will produce a so called "reduction fired look".
and she received some excellent suggestions...
one of them was to look in the 'mastering cone six glaze' book.
would you call it a fake-glaze book? just because many of the glazes there
look like reduction fired ones? with great talent and a lot of work the
authors found a way to fire those glazes in an ELECTRIC!!! kiln.
gee, did i dare to say the "e" word?

When I worked electric, I did majolica and some boro-lithium glazes that had
a similar look as lead.
I think the most successful electric glazes at looking like gas
fired
glazes,, are ash glazes over Albany/Alberta slip glazes. The Albany
bubbles up through the ash glaze and gives the surface some variety. I
recall an article from about 12 or so years ago in CM on the topic of these
glazes.
I also recall a guy in CM a year or two back, who used a combination of
glazes over each other to achieve a shino looking glaze.
Your homework assignment is to look through old CMs. :^) I
don't have them with me in Japan.
You know, many of the traditional glazes from Seto were fired in oxidation.
The more efficient noborigama was often fired in oxidation. Temmoku, Nuka
and Kaki were fired in oxidation.. Nuka is applied over bisque that has
had ochre slip applied to it before bisquing. It gives the Nuka a mottled
coloring.
