I am no...Hi Spondoolio (love the name by the way!),<br />I am not sure what crystalline glaze I used for that one (I seem to remember using up a small quantity of left over crystalline glaze for that bowl), however the base glaze was probably either:<br /><br />4110 47 (4110 an alkaline glaze fritt that is the same as 3110)<br />Zinc oxide 27<br />silica 24<br />Titanium Dioxide 2<br />Bentonite 2 <br /><br />or<br />4110 51<br />Zinc Oxide 25<br />Silica 24<br />Titanium Dioxide 6<br />Bentonite 2<br /><br />There was probably 2 percent of copper carbonate added to either of those too.<br /><br />I am using the crystalline glaze in this case for its fluxing powers, rather than to grow crystals. This combination of crystalline glaze over a high iron glaze such as a tenmoko mostly works quite well. It is worth testing carefully first on something that doesn't matter too much as I have found that the glaze combination does leave annoying bubbles when over some clay bodies.<br /><br />Also, just a small amount of crystalline glaze put over a glaze will make it run like crazy, so do take care to protect kiln shelves!<br /><br /><br />Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-80393436618310916562015-06-13T02:27:29.968+12:002015-06-13T02:27:29.968+12:00Hi Peter what the crystalline glaze over the tenmo...Hi Peter what the crystalline glaze over the tenmoku on this bowl it's great :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625802502355709814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-26597523468574081852015-01-21T06:04:42.142+13:002015-01-21T06:04:42.142+13:00Hi Anna,

No risk at all of eating bisque..., maybe I should use the word "bisque" for the edible variety, to put me off overconsumption!<br /><br />Regarding Facebook... You are most welcome to share my blog site on Facebook, and the page you mention sounds a really interesting one. It is nice to hear of people taking time to share tips and advice.<br /><br />I am not currently on Facebook, although they still regularly send me stuff that goes into my spam... I briefly signed up years ago when a friend (a real one!!) encouraged me to give it a go, but it just seemed one thing too much to do as I am a bit slow putting together my blog posts, so I unsubscribed.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-58233388119326884332015-01-21T00:29:47.790+13:002015-01-21T00:29:47.790+13:00Hi Peter

Lovely to hear from yo...Hi Mike,<br />Mmmmm, fractals!:)<br />Lovely to hear from you, welcome to the blog. I am glad to get your input regarding bisque/biscuit... It would be a relief to be able to be correct with either word, particularly as "bisque" feels familiar and right to me. Maybe the Good Book of Potting is open to a more liberal interpretation after all! <br /><br />Hi Michèle,<br />Yay, another vote for "bisque"! I never think that biscuit fired pots look particularly appetising, so it is just as well not to confuse them with biscuits! Mmmm, I could imagine a cheese cake with fresh raspberries and a biscuit base!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-2807300603703599852015-01-16T07:19:16.106+13:002015-01-16T07:19:16.106+13:00I say "bisque" as well.

Love the 'black hole' it reminded me more of a mandelbrot set.<br /><br />Maybe I just disagree with Hamer (gasp!) but I suspect both the words bisque and biscuit come from the French/Latin for 'twice cooked', which is true which ever way round you do your temperatures.
