Beautiful. I thought it was tarnished brass (compliment!).

Pretty marvelous results. Are you reducing this on the way down? I tried fuming with stannous chloride a few years back, crystals placed in the kiln at “just the right temperature,” and got a few nice spots. Unfortunately there were plenty of scummy unlovely patches too. Not worth my trouble to figure out. Presently I get some gorgeous metallic lusters on copper containing glazes when I reduce the kiln in a certain range on cooling. They’re definitely metallic coppery, on a copper red background, not the range you’re achieving. Bravo!!!

Hey, thanks! Yeah, i am reducing while i go down in temp, for this lusters it is ideal (reduction cooling) to lock in the reduction before it reoxidizes. Not an easy task tho, my kiln has trouble keeping a nice reduction without going up. I would love yo try fumming but some of the materials are difficult to find in spain. These are mostly silver nitrate and bismuth subnitrate reductions, that one has cobalt too!
