This book's subject matter is the production of deep red glazes for use on ceramics and stoneware. The author's research explores the use of chrome-tin to produce a desirable red color, and concentrates on methods to develop a commercial-quality glaze in the heat range used for stoneware (cone 6 to 8). The author provides thoroughly tested glaze formulas to produce both glossy and matte finishes, and includes extensive information on the effects of different glaze compositions on the final color. The book is a useful guide for ceramicists, potters, and glaze chemists, providing practical and specific information on producing consistent, high-quality red glazes.
