Mason 6315 zirconium vanadium blue 1-10% and Mason 6028 Orange 1-10%. In both cases, 6% appears to achieve maximum color (colors will be even brighter when fired to the full cone 04). Both of these are listed as candidates for staining bodies on the reference guide at masoncolor.com. Fritware bodies like this have much more glass development during firing than porcelains and thus amplify stain colors better. It is typical to only use body stains for this type of experiment, but because the firing temperature is so low and firings can be done quickly it is likely that more stains will work that in typical cone 6 or 10 porcelains. This is potentially a good process for jewelry making. Photo courtesy of Karen Ho Fatt Lee.
