Katherine asked: Might you explain the difference in "cone" in terms of
temperatures please?
Cone 05 1888-1911 F, Cone 04 1945-1971
Cone 5 2167-2205 Cone 6 2232-2269
It may not really look like much, really only 200-300 degree difference, but it
makes a huge difference in the way that the final pot behaves.
It's easier to see rather than describe. If you know any potters ask them to
show you a bisque piece and a high fired piece of the same clay.
