Mid-Range

Oxidation

Food safe, gorgeous sunny yellow satin matte with orange patches and brown speckles. Apply fairly thickly. Reliable and smooth but not runny. Absolutely requires slow cooling. Fast cooling yields an uninteresting shiny yellow-brown. Layers well under runny glazes like Waterfall Brown.

Cone: 6

This is a mug that was glazes by Tammy. Yellow Matte is solid. No runs and no crazing. I like the green celadon over the yellow. You get some interesting blues.

What is a Mid-Range Cone 6 Glaze?

A mid-range glaze is usually fired in a range from Cone 4 to Cone 7 (2124 degrees Fahrenheit to 2262 degrees Fahrenheit). A Cone 6 glaze is a mid-range glaze that should be fired to Cone 6. Mid-range glaze are normally created to be fired in an electric kiln. Mid-range glazes often mimic effects achieved in high-fire gas kilns. Although Cone 6 glazes are fired at temperatures lower than high-fire glazes, the melting points are still considered to be high. As a result, the glazes are much more durable than low-fire glazes. Often, high-fire glazes can be adjusted to have their melting points lowered to mid-range temperatures. As energy costs rise, mid-range Cone 6 glazes become more popular. It is very expensive to push a kiln from Cone 6 to Cone 10. So, if the desired effects can be achieved at Cone 6, costs can be cut for the potter.
