Can you use Raku Glaze on earthenware and fire normally?

Or does it have to be used with the Raku Technique 

 

Thanks in advance

The interesting looking glazes require that heavy reduction at peak temperature they get when placed in a covered bin with carbon.

You can use the glazes, but they will look plain in a normal oxidation firing.

If the earthenware is for functional work many raku glazes wouldn't be suitable for food surfaces due to the lack of durability of the glaze and/or the amount of colourants used. If it's a basic clear or white raku glaze it might be fine but without knowing the recipe it would be hard to say.
