Re: Color Question

You could refire using cobalt oxide painted or sprayed on I would think.  It
is a very strong color and I would be surprised that it would not give you
the blue you want with just a light application so you don't have to worry
really about it adhering heavily to the now non-porous surface.  Do you know
what the pieces were fired to and if it is a reduction or oxidation firing
(electric, gas, wood)?  You would have to fire though to the point of where
the glaze remelted.   I wonder if you could use a stencil and spray on a
design.  The problem is going to be in how to ask your friend if this could
be done without offending or hurting them.  You could say you really want
blue in the set and would be happy to pay for the cost of firing if it can
be done without risk of damaging the already beautiful work......  DKat
