Glaze tests


Porcelain bowl bisqued cone 04.  Inside dipped Chun Lt. Green.  Outside dipped GA23 (Rusty Bronze).  Rim dipped into Chun Lt. Green.  Just very edge.  Anything on top of GA 23 will run.

Porcelain vase dipped in GA 23 (Rusty Bronze)  and center area sprayed with copper carbonate stain.  It has a look of frothing root beer when it pools. 
 
Beautiful pale blue-green Chun with .1 cobalt carbonate on porcelain. 
 Brush work---Duncan Cobalt Jet Black.  
Red "x"  is Amaco Velvet Bright Red on top of glaze.  
All in cone 6 oxidation.

  1. Hi Charlene, thanks so much for posting the recipes, the glazes look really interesting. I think I'll try the blue-green chun first, as I have all the ingredients, including a 500g pack of zinc oxide which has been lying unopened in a box for many years!
