Mechanisms

  • Crystal Glaze Variations - Broadness, flattness

    Addition of boron via Gerstley Borate produces broad, flat crystal fans. (Any borate can be used if Gerstley is not available.)

  • Glaze Color - Opaque, shaded toward ivory

    Crystals will be more yellowish than the ground, which is generally a soft white when no colorants are used. Cobalt used in this glaze yields blue crystals on a mustard-colored ground; copper crystals and ground shaded toward light grass green.
