Inspired by Ah Leon's work, see pic. and Walter's great found in Taiwan, I'm set to make some tofu tray. Since I mostly work with porcelain, the tofu shouldn't be a problem, but I needed to do some research on red stoneware. Something has the right color/ firing range cone 4-6, absorption rate like Yixing teapot 'purple sand' ~4%, no grog but be able to hold 12" x 12'"x 1/2" without warp. So far, I found HighWater Clay's red stone comes close, but still too red/not brown enough. It would be nice to have the natural clay color instead of doing an iron wash. Please let me know if anyone out there know something else to try.
