Mickeypotter 0 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have been wandering from years ,talked with many pottery experts but haven't got anything closest to yohem tenmoku glaze recipe, So is there anyone who can help me out to figure it how these wonderful bowls are done .

liambesaw 2,766 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 John Britt has said before that the modern version is an oilspot of some kind. The original three bowls no one knows for sure. A high magnetite clay and clay body is what they've deduced after studying them. Rae Reich 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is more happening than just iron crystallization. LT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CactusPots 245 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 If that doesn't drive you crazy enough, check out the work by Chun Wen Wang. One of those potters that provide no technical detail for the rest of us. Babs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cmd27 2 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 By the way...If anyone is interested in surface imaging and elemental analysis using a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) on your glaze or clay body please PM me. I own one. I don't have access to the article but I believe a SEM with X-ray (EDS) was used in the investigation. Cheers Min and Rae Reich 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hulk 781 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 my brother has an antique desk model - start the vacuum pump, go out for a movie, then fascinating look see sometime after; wish he lived closer, for sure, particularly for cut, polish, then study the clay glaze interface.

cabako 17 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hulk you are correct, startup, wait till vac pumps down to at least 10^-4 torr (about 1 hr). I have not yet imaged ceramic samples but I have a diamond chop saw and gold /carbon sputter coater which should do the trick. I do not have polishing supplies yet, maybe rough images will suffice for the users on this forum. But polishing discs are cheap, and it is necessary for quantitative elemental analysis. I am 2.5 hrs from los osos....nice spot. Rae Reich 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
