6713kaeg1 Glossy cobalt blue

One of my most popular crystal glazes based on zinc and lithium. Too thick it will run a lot, and it is not so easy to find the best thickness. Always spray the glaze thinner near the bottom of the pot. 1260oC with 1/2 to one hour at the top temperature. Does not need a slow cooling, but will sometimes be better if you make a second equal firing. A delicate but difficult glaze.
