@ImogenBIf you use this you need a liner glaze. Sorry, I'm so used to using liners, I forgot to mention. Any clear cone 6-8 glaze would work. There are plenty in Britt's books.

Here, I just came across this, looks nearly identical. I saw it and immediately thought of your posting. Give it a whirl and let us know how it comes out. https://glazy.org/recipes/2467 Also, You can probably squeeze this in a cone 8 load. If you want, I can make a test of it, Im getting rid of my last bit of HF clay, and don't have enough glaze for all the pieces

That is most likely a stain or a very saturated cobalt. Most saturated cobalts are dark blue, I have never seen such a light blue like that with cobalt. Look at these mason stains below. https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/8693/delft-mason-stain-6320-1-lb/ https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/8703/copen-6368-mason-stain-1-lb/ https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/8682/vivid-blue-6306-1-4lb/ Note: Stain are usually between 3-10% in glazes. If you want to make (say a 5000g batch) you are better off getting 1 lb of stain, many people (myself included) often get 1/4 lb and it's a few grams off, and there is not enough for a batch.

I took a 2 inch chunk out of the back of this piece, threw it out right after the picture. Great gradient, though. -

Throwing wise- I like to throw a thick cylinder, push it out and then color in the next. For lamps I prefer to have the top part of the belly be a little flatter. (usually fits the shape of the shade better.) Glazing, a crystalline glaze, 6 copper oxide with 1 gram of ilmenite. I think I fitted this with gold hardware.

Free Video Recommendations for Potters

There are days where I will have my laptop sitting behind me and have his videos playing while I throw. Something about that damn voice, makes you feel comfortable on the wheel. -
