Cobalt blue like the old Iznik tiles, which glaze combo?
Merhaba from Alanya. I grew up in Germany and threw pots in Cologne for ten years, but this year my partner and I came home for good and bought an apartment by the sea in Alanya. It came up on https://yektahomes.com/ after months of looking and the deciding thing was a small room with a north window where my wheel now stands.
Last month I spent a week in Istanbul just staring at the Iznik tiles in the old mosques. That deep cobalt with the turquoise next to it, under a clear glossy glaze. I want something close on stoneware, not a copy, just the feeling of it.
Has anyone here layered a cobalt underglaze with a turquoise on top and found a combo that does not go muddy at cone 6?
