I cracked the kiln to reveal pleasing results. The kiln fired hottest at the top of the kiln where my cloud glaze (chun blue) was over fired to a clear gloss. As the temperature varied to the bottom of the kiln however, so did the blue glaze on the tall vertical forms which I was happy with.
Over the last few firings I have seen pink blushes on various pieces, this time I got more of a purple (see photos below). I am not 100% sure whether the purple is just the pink blush fired to a higher temperature? As I am not changing the glaze recipe or the wood this is quite interesting - something I will have to investigate further.
