Hi Norm,
No barium or zinc. It is actually a simple glaze.
The Sam's White thins out and mixes with the blue when applied over the clear glaze. It is usually a very stable opaque glaze when used by itself. All glazes are cone 6 ox.

Sure Gene, when you get a chance post some recipes, I'm sure many on this forum would love to see them!

Sam's White Glaze appears to have a barium or zinc component giving that frosty look.
Glazemixer has a Cone 10 version of Sam's Satin with 4% barium.

It seems more than a simple addition of titanium dioxide or zircopax.

Thanks for the kind compliment Juli. I used 3 studio glazes that are at the London Clay Art Centre. The name's won't mean much but the dipped base glaze is Hutton House Blue with clear glaze brushed on and then Sam's white glaze was trailed along the edge and allowed to run down. The kiln did the final mixing. I can post the recipe's if you would like.
