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.

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!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Mark! Let me know of your results.....

Thank you for your comment! Yes, these glazes are luscious when they come out! Next test is for a darker green.
