Dennis Bednarek Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 It sounds like there is no damage from the firing then other then the fact you used up a little extra fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayaldridge Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Excellent outcome! I think lots of folks might be surprised to hear that porcelain can stand a lot of heat. I always tended to think of the stuff as glass with bones, prone to warping, and vulnerable to collapse if overfired. I use a porcelain formulated for Cone 8, but once when I took some pieces to a communal groundhog kiln wood firing, I was told that some parts of the kiln might reach 12-13. I was reluctant to put my stuff in, for fear it would melt and ruin other people's work, but the potter who owned the kiln was not concerned at all. And she was right.

Pres Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Luck is with you, glad your account with the kiln gods is paid up. Wouldn't hurt to do a few extras for them in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark C. Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 One last note about glazes that can run. I always have catcher foot in my forms which can save many a pot when the glaze does run. It decently paid off on this small kiln load.
