Notes
One of the most popular Albany Slip glazes was 11% lithium, 4% tin oxide and 85% Albany Slip. This recipe reduces the lithium by more 50% eliminating the shivering problems that were common. This also employs a frit to help melt the glaze (in the absence of the 6% lithium carbonate). The added alumina darkens the color and slightly dulls the gloss (leave it out if you want). Visually, this glaze works very well on porcelain showing variegated effects even on smooth surfaces, especially with variations in thickness. However, it may craze on porcelains, add more lithium to fix that. Our G3933EF is similar, it employs 6% lithium carbonate.
