Yesterday’s firing was my first gas firing of this glaze, body, and pigment, and first ever primarily porcelain firing.

This piece’s specs:

Porc:Sandstone body 6:4

Taishu:Ash glaze 7:3 @ 40°

Gosu:Oni-ita pigment 6:4 (7:3)?

Orton cone 7.5 light reduction

Pigment blacker than expected, too thick or maybe not enough reduction?

Body is not vitrified completely at this temp, but pure Izumiyama probably would be. Good for teaware and tableware, but for restaurant use should probably be fired higher.
