Fired to cone 6 in my Ward kiln. Slow cooled.

Results
Colour needs mixing with a blender, appears a bit grainy. Base glaze is pinkish from tin oxide. Poured rather than dipped. Need to repeat this test but concentrating on the lighter oxides, tiles 1, 2 and 3.
I like the way the rutile has added texture especially to the Cobalt corner.
