Kiln Shut Off Too Early - Can I Refire These Pots?


Recommended Posts

Hi - I was doing a glaze fire to cone 5 last night, and due to a dumb mistake on my part, the kiln shut off an hour too early.  My question is this: can I save these pots by refiring them to the correct temperature?  Can I do this without reglazing them?  Is it even worth it?  Any advice would be appreciated!  Thanks!

Ok, great!  I'll try it, and let you know how it goes.  Thanks for your responses!

 

I noticed that the colors seem "muddier" fired too low...is this generally true, that firing at a higher temperature produces brighter, clearer colors? ( I'm using an electric kiln and Amaco glazes for cone 5&6).

Was this successful?   I have underfired a sculptural piece with matt glaze over underglazing bisqued.   Just come out looks like raw white glaze.    I would like to refire at the higher correct temperature, I had fired to 1080 C  and the glaze should be 1200-1280 C.      Appreciate any comments
