Hi and thanks, Muddymitts. I'd call your iris a reddish-brown,with
some purple in the falls. Monitors do look different ! It's very pretty.
My glazes have a lot of depth and the red sometimes
can have green in it or look more burgundy-colored. However
I like it best when is has a very slightly bluish cast - like a raspberry.
It has to do with the oxides in the glaze and whether or not there's
sufficient smoke in the kiln at just the right time. Sorry if that's more than
you ever wanted to know about porcelain glazes!
