Thanks to all for the comments about stoneware stacking ... It's
pretty much what I was thinking, but I must say that I've always been
sort of surprised at the "specificity" of the salt-glazing process.
That is, how it seems to end up where its supposed to most of the
time, and how it really never seems to affect the adjacent Albany
surfaces.
Or on the other hand, is there something in the lower melting
temperature of the Albany slip clay that precludes it being
salt-glazed at all?
