Malcolm Greenwood on Keane's Master Blend:
As most of my business is producing tableware for restaurants and hotels, I need a porcelain
which provides a better glaze fit for some of my glazes than the standard Keane's Porcelain
and is better suited to commercial applications. I tested a number of bodies and settled on a
50150 mix of the Keane's Porcelain and the imported Traditional Porcelain.
Most importantly, the new blend provides a body which is a good glaze fit and which, after
several years, seems to be standing up to the commercial restaurant environment very well,
especially the commercial dishwashers - no small feat!
The blend also provides a body which is relatively easy to use, reliable, and somewhat forgiving
of my forming processes: throwing, press moulding, extruding and jigger jolly. In production,
this ease of use is of primary importance.
