    Sorry about the looong delay in getting to your question.  I have Michael Bailey's Glazes Cone 6 and believe it to be a good addition to any glaze developers library.  It is a little heavier on theory. The materials tend to be more generic like "potash feldspar" instead of specifying a specific branded feldspar.  MC6G is a little more readable and likely more popular.

    Hi George - I just ordered some of the spanish red oxide from US Pigment, along with other oxides.  Steven Hill mentioned the spanish red so i figure i will give it a go.  If I don't get good results, I will definitely try the high purity next.  He seemed to say to stay away from the others as it makes a big difference.  I was trying to compare the Bailey's orange red cone 6 to the Steven Hill Bailey's red.  Have you seen the book Bailey's cone 6 glazes?  I was thinking of getting it but then I read that a lot of the ingredients are different from what is available in the US.  Don't quite understand that comment but wondered if you had seen the book and if you found it helpful.  I have MC6G and recently bought the accompanying software, so i have plenty to chew on for now anyway.  Thanks again for your help/info.  Really appreciate this website.

    Were you ever able to determine food safety of the Val turquoise glaze you asked about ? I'm searching for one and would like recommendations. I'd of course also check (lemon test) but a referral would help. Thanks!
