| I expected this one to have more blue and more shine. |

| This copper based glaze is about what I was hoping for. |

| This is porcelain and not as white as I had hoped. |

| This one is called Hyacinth Blue. The teabag holder had some green underglaze so that is OK. The test dish looks promising. |

In some of my cone 6 electric tests I found the firing schedule and which kiln is used changes the glazes to something completely different. When I first moved here I had someone fire my work in their kiln and it was completely different than when someone else fired it in California or I fired it here. Then I tried different clays with the same glazes and more unique results, there are so many variables in clay and glazes. The clear looks like a good melt gave an antique look to the clay.
You are so right. Even firing on a different shelf can result in a variation. Thanks for the comment on the clear. It will help me to adjust my expectations on having a crisp white. I won several bags of this porcelain and will need to use it up.
