Opalescent Glazes may be used on any clay, but they
develop their greatest opalescence and most interesting textures when applied
to red clay. Most have a high gloss with an iridescence similar to
mother-of-pearl. Best results are achieved with three or four
applications of glaze. On textured ware, the glaze flows thin on relief
and thick in incised areas, giving an added dimension on the surface.
May be used in Raku firing. May give interesting effects at high
temperatures; for example, #23 and 42 at Cone 5 when applied on the inside of
a stoneware bowl will flow to produce a variegated bottom and thinly glazed
rims, For normal use, apply to cone 04 bisque; fire to cone
05.
