In our electric kilns, cone 5 finishes at 2163F (vs cone 6 at 2200F). The bodies I normally use need cone 6 to vitrify to the degree I want. But not so with our MNP, it is vitreous at cone 5. And our black matte G2934BL glaze just happens to produce better matteness at cone 5, especially with the cone 5 C5DHSC firing schedule. The inside glaze is L3500G, it is melting just as well as at cone 6.

Cone 5
Also called "middle temperature" by potters, cone 5 (~2160F/1180C) refers to the low end of the temperature range at which most hobby and pottery stonewares and porcelains are fired. |
