FYI for anyone trying this glaze. First, the recipe Alisa gives below is NOT
Greg Lamont's original Caramel Apple, but the variation I posted recently
(with a lot more silica, based on my Currie test results). I guess I need to
give it another name to prevent confusion. For marketing purposes, I'm
calling it Autumn Glow.
Two things I have learned about this glaze in the last month or so. 1) I get a
LOT more of the red tones on brown stoneware than on white or porcelain,
and 2) the slow cool (use 80C per hour from 1000C down to 700C) is
essential for the development of red. Oh, and it loves texture -- I get much
more interesting combinations of color on rippling/carved/altered surfaces.

Hi Chris,
I usually say Glaze x revised by RR if I have not altered the moleculat
formula much or changed the materials. If I had done what you did I would
give it a new name. No harm in adding - from the original by XX.
I do agree with your attitude however - credit where due is the right thing
in my mind.
