Digitalfire is facing a takedown order from Plainsman Clays. They are revoking permission to "use any Plainsman content" "on any platform". This is broad and vague enough, and this site large enough, that I am unable to comply or even interpret it in the short timeframe (June 27). Please don't panic, I am overwhelmed by the unbelievable support I am getting. We just need to get them to relent on this demand and call off the lawyer (to at least permit commentary). There are lots of backup sites (many people have the API endpoints), don't start downloading or scraping again and overload the server.
Insight-live.com general operation is not affected by this.
These mugs are Plainsman H450 fired at cone 10R. Both have a black engobe (L3954N) applied to the insides and half way down the outside during leather hard stage (the insides are glazed with Ravenscrag silky matte and G1947U over the black engobe). The bamboo glazes can thus be seen over the black (upper half) and the raw buff body (lower). The bamboo glaze on the left has 1% iron added to the base G2571A recipe. The one on the right has 3.5% powdered rutile and 10% zircopax added.
