PACO" mottled grey

speckled grey

Here are some pieces made with this enamel "Grey speckled PACO":

To make this glaze "Gris moucheté PACO my starting point was my Peau d'abricot glaze. I liked the speckled character of this glaze. Therefore, I carried out a series of tests with, as a base, my Peau d'abricot glaze to which I added different oxides. The test with the addition of cobalt oxides caught my attention. Below, the addition of cobalt oxides in different proportions:

Sample n°2 retained, I thus keep this concentration in cobalt oxides.

I then proceed to a test on a larger room to observe the result:

The result is very satisfactory, we observe the formation of a bluish gray with an ochre speckle.

I decided to do a thickness test using this recipe(link to build a small tool to measure the thickness of the enamel) :
