Bobg Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm looking for an underglaze that will give me the same color as in the picture at cone 6. Any one have a clue where I can get some? I'd even be interested in a glaze. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 You can tint underglazes by mixing colors. Probably your best bet to get something exact. Start with a turquoise and go from there. Be aware that most manufacturer sample tiles are fired at low fire temps, not cone 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 By the way the color moves on that piece, it looks like it was glazed. I don't think you can get that lovely color range and toasty shades with a coating of underglaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I was kind of thinking the same thing Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The color reminds me of Slate Blue from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes. But, the finish gives the appearance of being salt fired, or wood fired -- with the color coming from a colored/oxide slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said book, and am working my way through it. I'll have to make a note to try that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamt Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have gotten a color that looks like that using laguna antique blue over speckled buff clay at cone 5, electric. I think I thinned the glaze a bit, and put on 3 coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you are interested in using under glazes I would suggest using AMOCO Velvet Underglaze Series, royal blue and hunter green. (The hunter green looks like a light turquoise in the jar but is in fact a dark green) Dip a wet brush into each color and brush it onto the surface. Stop and repeat as soon as the colors blend. A satin mat overglaze on top of that. Repeat this until the ware is completely covered or you get the look you like. I agree with the others that you are looking at the results of a glaze and firing on the piece in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 The color and Texture look very close to a glaze I am using. its called Laura's Turquoise cone 10 reduction. works well in oxidation. whiting 34%, Custer feldspar 22%, kaolin 28%, silica 8%, cobalt carb 0.2%, copper carb 2.9%, Rutile ceramic 2.9%, Bentonite 2%, try a small batch and let us know what you think. have fun Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantay Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I was thinking it was a clear base, for where the leaf is. Then the same glaze with a mason stain tint. The meeting of the clear against the color makes me think it's the same glaze. The speckles being iron in the clay. I've seen the technique before.
