Research

I am publishing  some if not all of the research I did.

Below are the analysis of materials I collected in 2014/15

The first material threw me completely it was a rock stored on the side of a Pottery in Chizhong Village out towards the kiln sites, it looks more like an iron bearing Wollastonite. I never found that materail again and by the time I returned the pottery was no longer there. The next two are the clay body and a sample of glaze collected in 2015. The rest are samples taken from various sites of the glaze rock showing its natural variability. This has been born out by melt tests.
