The St. John's Black glaze is intended for cone 9-10 reduction, although I have used it in various atmospheres and temperatures. At cone 10 reduction it has an opaque, almost metallic, semi-gloss quality. Fired in an electric kiln to cone 10, the glaze has a very high gloss, but shows variations in thickness. I currently fire it at cone 6 in an electric kiln and it is a nice opaque satin glaze. - Sarah German
