Classic example if a microcrystalline glaze that needs slow cooling to be
matt:
Cone 10-12 Mat from Glen Nelson's Ceramics: a potters handbook.
P. Spar 40
Whiting 22.3
Kaolin 21
Silica 16.7
Titanium Ox 4.4
This glaze was ALWAYS mat in the Alpine kiln at school.
Without firing down, it was ALWAYS glossy in my downdraft I built that had a
brick up door. The brick up door just leaked air and let it cool too fast.
