Not all my mistakes are disastrous. This was supposed to be my metallic green glaze but I mistook cobalt oxide for copper oxide. It did cost me considerably because cobalt oxide is ten times as expensive as copper. I won’t be keeping this as one of my assortment of colors but a guarded few pieces will wear it as long as it lasts.

The pitcher has been bought by a lovely couple from Adairsville, Ga. This 3 qt. pitcher stands 8 1/2” tall with applied grapes and finished in my Harvest Gold glaze. It is dated 1999.

I call this glaze Metallic Green. It’s a bit contrary and sometimes leads to disappointment. It is one of my most popular glazes and well worth the extra aggravation it presents in the application process. After all, sometimes the challenge brings more joy in the finished piece.

Of all the glazes I’ve formulated, this is my favorite. Not necessarily the color but it’s consistent and very easy to apply. Never any disappointments when I open the kiln.
