One of the things I have learned over a long period id is color is SUPER important (that is it all needs to match . You should fire them all together in same spot.
This is especially true in high fire reduction and as you just found out matters at lower temps to some degree.-I still like the work but if you want it all the same then make it all over and fire all together same shelve area.

Thanks Mark, they were only about two inches lower than the other ones. I have a feeling that the slip was a bit too wet and that somehow affected things, You know when you try to think about the process and if anything changed, well I vaguely remember like a slight cobalt scum floating on the surface of the pale. Oh well, just one of those things. Thanks for your comment anyway. T

So. That made no difference what so ever. I cut some new tiles this morning and will re do them this week. oh well serious eye rolling going on! T

I was afraid that would happen. You probably have a better chance of making the darker ones lighter than the other way around. Good luck with the new tiles.

I was trying to fire higher to turn the darker ones lighter..... did i mention that I am ceramically challenged so i will need luck!!! I have never ever had this happen with my colbalt slip not EVER! /> ps I almost wanted to positive rate you on that comment, to see what it takes to get out of a neutral rating.... anyway thanks again T
