Notes
*This is a silky matte with a very nice texture to the touch.
There are many dolomite/whiting/feldspar/kaolin/silica glazes out there, but this one is the best. We calculated it from an original that sourced CaO from calcium carbonate (this employs wollastonite instead).
We use this base as:
-a white (adding superpax for extra opacity if needed)
-a powder blue using 1% cobalt oxide and .2% chrome oxide
-an oatmeal using 3-5 manganese for a tan to brown (manganese does flux it a bit so kaolin could be added). Note that we found a rutile/zircopax addition was better, see G2571B).
-copper for a pink silky
7000 grams makes about 2.5 gallons.
This glaze also works well at cone 10 oxidation (slow cool the kiln if defects occur).
In heavy reduction it does not work nearly as well with some colorants, tending toward a drier much less silky surface.
This base has several strong points:
-It works well on porcelains, even using the managanese addition.
-It works well on stonewares and iron stonewares.
-It has extremely good thixotropic properties making it easy to apply.
-It has a low expansion which means it does not craze on most bodies.

Notes
*This is the original version (see G2571A for a wollastonite version used today). For a titanium/colbalt version of this, see G2571C.
On light bodies this fires powder blue to a more glossy crystal blue depending on thickness and firing. If used on an iron body it is a much darker matte to turquoise. Produces quite striking subtle colors and surface textures when used as a second layer over tenmoku.

Notes
*G2571A has been our go-to dolomite matte base for many years. It has very low thermal expansion, by virtue of low levels of KNaO, and fits bodies very well. And it thrives on colorant and variegator additions. So it seemed a natural to make our rutile blue using this.
This adds the titanium and cobalt to the new fritted base version of G2571A: G2571B. Titanium is being used to get better blue, rutile supplies TiO2 like titanium, but also brings along iron that muddies blue coloration.
Fabulous results. The variegation is excellent.
More cobalt would be better on white stonewares, perhaps 0.75%.
