Tenmoku glaze.



Reduction fired to cone 10.

Two beautifully smooth tenmoku glazes, though the one on the right is more fluxed (fluid at a lower temp (possibly better for cone 9) . I've gone with the first one for a cone 10 body and glaze reduction firing.

1. 
whiting 14% 
kaolin 10%
silica 41%
potash feldspar 34%

red iron oxide 8%

2.
whiting 16% 
kaolin 12%
silica 21%
potash feldspar 43%

red iron oxide 8%

Tenmoku is a food safe glaze.
