I like the color of this glaze, but have had significant crazing on white stoneware. The photo does not seem to show crazing, but the resolution may not be high enough to show this. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem with this glaze.

What’s the point of having a place where questions can be asked if no follow-up occurs?

I made up this glaze and it was runny and it crazed. I am concerned that it will leach
copper and strontium. These glazes should say if they are tested for food safety. The example looks like a food dish with 2 different thicknesses of the same glaze, or an underglaze and water blue on top.
It did look great as an accent over a yellow satin matte glaze I use, if applied very thin. It might look nice if sprayed over my satin matte. Will try. I will only use this glaze, as is, on sculptural work for now. It flows very nicely. I guess that’s why they call it water blue. Does anyone know who submitted this glaze?

Patricia-
Because of the many variables involved in glaze formulation, application and firing, we cannot guarantee food safety of any glaze recipes posted on Ceramic Arts Daily. So be sure to arm yourself with information! We encourage you to obtain a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from your suppliers or manufacturers for all raw materials that you plan to use in the studio. Read and understand this information and follow the specific safety guidelines for working with each material you use.
The best way to be certain of food safety is to have your finished pieces leach tested by a lab. There are many labs that conduct these tests. Here is a list, with links to their websites. You will need to read and follow their specific requirements:

Just finished using this glaze and love the color and what it does over raised surfaces BUT it did have crazing. Still great for vases. Does anyone have suggestions on how to stop the crazing…?
