I haven't really followed this thread except for the zigging and zagging of
the players. I too have lusted for Oribe but since i fire heavy reduction
I have experienced copper red. Red is not what i wanted, so I figured why
not use iron. Iron in reduction gives a pretty pleasant Oribe look. Not
authentic but pretty close to the money. I use 2% iron in a celedon and it
looks like Oribe to me.
I don't want to fire a whole kiln in oxidation, so iron it is.
Cheers,
