Hi Sarah & All,
I've gotten some very nice translucent pinks using
Mason 6000 Shell Pink stain. (3 to 10%)
This was cone 5-6.
The good news is that it's "only" about $15USD per pound.
The bad news is that it only works up to about 2,300F- around cone 8,
& is not recommended for reduction atmospheres at any temperature.
The other bad news- it contains Chromium Oxide, handle with care.
Also, the base glaze cannot contain zinc or magnesium,
& must contain 6.7% to 8.4% Calcium Oxide
(12-15% Calcium Carbonate)- a high calcium base.
Best, DMH

Greetings from California!
Does anybody have a recipe for a pale pink transluscent glaze (preferably
cone 10 reduction)? I am looking for a barely pink (pink like the inside of
a seashell... delicately pink), glossy, transluscent pink that has the
pooling and breaking qualities of a celadon glaze. My research tells me
that this is a pretty tough glaze to formulate. I have looked into Embrium
rare earth oxide but cannot find a supplier. Has anyone used embrium
oxide? Do tell!
Will settle for any other high-fire temp, just want the glaze to have
celadon-like qualities.
Thank you for any imput whatsoever!
Sarah

Dear sarah;
You will find that Laguna has a good supply of rare earth oxides,
including Erbium. They have published an article including glaze
recipes and mixing instructions at
With erbium at $53.40/pound, I am glad you are enjoying sunshine in CA!
Say hello to the stars for us.
Cheers, Hank

Never heard of embrium. Could you be thinking of erbium?
I believe Laguna now stocks the rare earths.
