Notes
From Crystal Glazes Book 1 by Fara Shimbo, Page 148. An excellent "starter glaze". Crystal number: moderate. Rate Of Growth: 1-1.5 cm/h Crystal Color: Ivory to light golden yellow, opaque to just barely translucent. Crystal Shape: Spoke-like at high soak temps, very fanned at lower soak temps. Ground Color: Streaked with white, ivory and cream. Crazing: Can be severe where glaze pools. Color Response: Nice! Grounds often match the crystals. Seeding properties: When fired at cone 7.5 or 8, does great. Any higher, too many crystals form on their own, and the design is lost.
