Can cone 10 clay be fired to cone 5?
The cone rating of a clay or glaze is the temperature at which the clay matures. So if a cone 10 clay is fired to cone 5, the resulting pot will not be completely matured. This may or may not cause a problem, depending on what the piece is used for. For example, a cone 10 porcelain which is fired to cone 5 and not glazed will still be somewhat porous.
