Laguna Glaze Cone 10 Iron Red WC556 (O)

In reduction, these glazes will be enhanced by the reduction process.  Impurities and trace metals in the clay and glaze will react with carbon in the kiln atmosphere to create spotting.  Oxides react in various and sometimes spectacular ways.  Each firing creates a certain unique quality in the ware.  

Read the description carefully to determine whether oxidation or reduction is advised.  All are lead free and non-toxic, and may be used on dinnerware when fired properly.     

This glaze is a member of the Tenmoku and Kaki family of glazes. It is a rich, red semi gloss glaze which has some mottling. The brightest color is achieved over porcelain or white stoneware in oxidation firing. Dark clay bodies or reduction firing tend to make this glaze red-black. Iron Read does not lend itself to some oxides in decoration.
