Is it posible to get copper fuming when firing in oxidation in an electric
kiln?

I don't know how it happens, but, when we are doing slow cools/firedowns,
(glazed pots previously gas fired to Cones 10,11 &/or 12 & refired to
1020C in an electric kiln),
we get copper flashing on some pots closest to the elements, especially
celadon glazed ones.
