Notes

-This recipe is a clear even glossy glaze with a smooth surface. Passes the hot/cold crazing test on M340.

Suggested additions:
- 5% titanium dioxide, 1% cobalt oxide, 1% copper oxide and 0.5% iron oxide for a light glossy blue glaze with some lighter variegations, breaks to a green over the edges.
-3% Cobalt Carbonate, 3% Rutile, 3% Titanium for a variegated light medium blue glaze that breaks greenish over edges.
-2% copper oxide and 2.5% titanium dioxide (survives vinegar test without leaching). Produces a celadon green with some crystal growth on the bottom of the bowls where it pools if thick or if cooled slowly.
-12% zircopax for a white Majolica type glaze
-12% iron oxide red, 1.5% cobalt oxide for a dark black with a tinge of blue.
- 2% Chrome Oxide, 2% Cobalt oxide for a dark teal.

Liner glaze: Add 0.25-0.5% Mason 6300 blue to get a brighter effect on stoneware bodies that might otherwise appear straw yellow under the glaze.
