I found the following. I am also learning glaze-making.<br /><br />www.mb-Mfg.com<br /><br />A lead-free frit glaze consisting of, by mole %, 61% or greater SiO2, 8-10% Al2 O3, 0.1-3% CaO, 0.1-2% MgO, 2-5% Li2 O, 1-4% K2 O, 2-6% Na2 O, and 10-15% B2 O3. The glaze is applied over the surface of ceramic biscuit base and fired therewith. Although the glaze contains no lead, the lead-free frit glaze provides excellent gloss and excellent quick cooling resistance. <br /><br />K StusnickAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688027895481858444noreply@blogger.com
