OMG

 

So, when I bought my Fred Kiln five years ago, the lady who sold him to me gave me a box of all her underglazes, posts, and overglazes along with him (she was a maijolica artist AND FREAKING AMAZING--look up Iva Talacko!), but I never really looked in there.

 

What a treasure trove!! Old old glazes from American Beauty, and this stuff called Jacquelyn's Velva-Glo (ohhh, my inner ten year-old snorted at that name) that had a 75-cent stamp on the lid! Good night, when was the last time a jar of underglaze was THAT price? :)

 

I'm gonna make a few test tiles to see if any of it is still any good! :)

There is the reason I tell potters to appreciate the Paint Your Own Pottery stores ... they needed products that were the right color in the jar for their casual customer base ... those old under glazes would drive you crazy trying to remember that pink was really green and green would be orange or something! Thank goodness for Velvets!!

Check the labels for safety issues.

 

 

Not likely Neil.  Those bottles look so old, that the labels probably encourages that you smoke, while handling/ using the glazes.

 

... after you have settled your husband in with his evening beer and paper ;)

 

Diesel!! I just went back to read the rest of the comments and realize you had the same idea LOL great minds think alike
