Cold Characteristics

Similar in appearance to Clear Transparent (001101) except it may include a slight tint of color (blue to green). Also similar to Reactive Ice Clear (001009).

Working Notes

Part of a series that includes Reactive Cloud Opal (000009) and Reactive Ice Clear (001009). Be careful not to confuse this style with Clear Transparent or Reactive Ice Clear. Reactive combinations have the potential to create an interface color, which may continue to develop through multiple firings. When combined with some copper-bearing styles Red Reactive Clear creates an interface color that can range from red to black. When combined with silver the reactions are more likely to develop as earth tones. Reactions are generally related to the amount of copper and silver content, heatwork and surface area contact.

Working characteristics are similar to Reactive Ice Clear, generally with a lighter red reactive palette. Some copper-bearing styles that react with Reactive Ice Clear do not readily react with Red Reactive Clear. Expect variation.

Red Reactive Clear, Iridescent 001019-0031, -0051 (rainbow irid). When combined with some copper-bearing styles the reaction may permeate the iridized surface, finding greater surface contact through thinner sections of the irid coating (gold, silver) and minute fissures throughout. Crackle patterning is generally more open where the irid coating is thicker and transitions to dense coverage in thinner sections. Expect variation.
