Edouard, "fous"--j'accepte. But at what cone is this recipe?

Ton ami,

This is a reformulation of the silica saturated traditional nuka. I
fire it from cone 12 to 8, but can run at higher temps. Add 4 to 5%
copper for Nuka Sage (green in oxidation, red in heavy reduction.)
Typically, Sage, like oribe green, is not a base glaze, but is put on
top of a feldspathic glaze. Of course, can go on top of white Nuka too.

You can see a sample of the Sage Nuke here:

and here:

and an example of the white nuka with temmoku here:
