Red Blizzard
Opaque brick-red rod with white 'snow' flecks that smooth in the flame; resembles speckled enamel. Flame-strikes somewhat, but kiln-strike at 1050°F for true color. Work neutral or oxidizing.
Outcomes

Working notes
- Work neutral or oxidizing only — do not reduce.
- Kiln strike at 1050°F for true color; flame strike alone gives only partial result.
