Here are a couple of glazes that I use for cone 1-2 majolica.
Without the superpax, they are clear over the terracotta body I use.
I add stains and oxides to the clear base to use it over the white
majolica base.
Version 2 has more clay so I like it better, it makes a better working
slurry.
They are both essentially the same glaze but formulated two different ways.

John,
I was looking for cone 1 majolica on Google and found your old
post. Can you tell me what the surface is like at cone 1? I am looking
for something to use in the soda kiln at cone one, maybe single fire. I
could add a little more clay for raw firing and to compensate for the soda.
What do you think?
