Boron Blue
The blue haze in a transparent boron glaze that results from the crystallization of calcium borate crystals. This is a common problem in borate glazes. It can be reduced by increasing the amount of Al2O3 in the recipe to stiffen to the melt (crystals grow in a fluid melt). It may also be possible to deal with the problem by reducing the amount of CaO or B2O3. In Bound Links
