The objects of the study were (1) to ascertain proportional limits of Cornwall stone, feldspar, flint and clays in terra cotta slips at cones 4–5, and (2) to evolve a slip that will be ( a ) highly vitreous, ( b ) white, ( c ) have a firing range which will not be affected by normal kiln variations and ( d ) freedom from crazing, checking, peeling and flaking. Compositions for various slips are given.
