How we mix a celadon glaze

By Mira Khan

Celadon is a glaze that turns a soft green when iron meets a kiln starved of oxygen.

The recipe

  • Feldspar, silica and whiting as the base
  • One per cent red iron oxide
  • A reduction firing at the top of the kiln

We test every batch on a tile before it goes near a bowl.
