This is G3948A iron red glaze fired using the C6DHSC schedule. The casting body is L4768D, a fast-casting mix made using Opticast kaolin, nepheline syenite, silica and raw umber. It fires almost black and is highly vitreous and strong. The inside glaze is the GA6-B base Alberta Slip super gloss functional. These are part of a project where we are documenting step-by-step how to make the mold and casting slip.
The center bottle is a standard glass one, the other two are ceramic, cast out of the version 1 plaster mold. The stopper fits perfectly. The clay is Plainsman M370 + 10% raw umber, it fires black. The glaze is GA6-B. They were fired using the C6DHSC firing schedule. The slightly larger size will enable inserts at the bases to inlay a logo or other info. These bottles are a testament to how 3D printing and 3D design now make it possible for even casual potters to make pieces never before practical or even possible.
