While colorful and layered glazes on the outsides of pieces get lots of praise and glory transparent or white glazes providing the functional surface on the insides of pieces often get little attention from potters. Really, what good is an attractive piece if the inside food surface is crazing, blistering, leaching or cutlery marking? Or if it onverts the piece into a time bomb? This cone 6 liner glaze, G2926B, is an example of how I found a recipe, recognized its potential and tuned and adjusted it to be better and fit our clay bodies and be more durable. It has proven itself as a base to host all manner of colorants, opacifiers and variegators. One of the reasons it is so widely used is that it is well documented having a code number that Google indexes. Drinking from a mug having a quality and fitted functional surface instills pride in me as the maker. And it minimizes complaints from customers. The outside glaze? It is G2934 plus stain. The clay is MNP which I make myself.
