Recipe

Feldspar	47
China Clay	18
Whiting	22
Zinc Oxide	4
Flint	10

Formula

Seger formula from the Glaze Calculator 1 : 0.45 : 2.37

Application and Firing

Fire to 1200°C with 20 mins soak in an oxidizing atmosphere. Produces a semi-matt cream glaze which responds well to underlying slips. Will also take additions of 3% iron and 3% rutile for a creamy speckled brown. This glaze can be fired up to 1260°C.

I adapted this glaze from glaze 186 in Cooper's Book of Glaze Recipes (Emmanuel Cooper 1987) to make it slightly less matt, and fit the grogged white earthenware body I was using.
