Uranium Glaze
This pottery is amazing – the vibrant yellow color comes from Uranium, the green from a small amount of Nickel and a bit of Silver Nitrate for overall vibrancy.
I am in the process of acquiring one of these unique pieces from the artist, William Melstrom.
You can also learn about glaze crystal growth dynamics from his website.
On a side note, Silver Nitrate will dye your skin black. For a short time I had a small silver nitrate star “tattoo” in H.S., if only I had used it for glazes instead!
