Both of these tiles have been bisque fired at cone 04. On the left is L215 and on the right is L210.
The milk was applied to inside-glazed L210 terracotta ware (fired to cone 06) that I had preheated to 250F. This has not gone on as thick as usual so it appears it might be best to dip the pieces into milk and then pat them with a milk-damp sponge to break all the bubbles, remove the drips and even out the coverage.
Since these are glazed only on the inside I had to be cautious to avoid glaze compression issues. And tell users not to put these in the dishwasher (or if they do tell them how to restore the surface in their own oven).

Don't just try this, go into it as a project with your eyes open to the issues you will meet. |
