ceramic glazes for glass,,,,,,,,?????

Yes, Rodney,
I've used low-fire ceramic glazes and underglazes for years. Most low-fire glazes are designed for cone06 which is more in the 1900 F range. Test-fire all your glazes. Most are not food-safe especially since you will in effect be underfireing these glazes. If you want to use them on dinnerware you can cap them with more glass. I would suggest firing to top temperature before capping in a second firing because of trapping gases which may not be desireable.
Here's a tip: there are underglaze pencils which give a really nice "hand-drawn sketchy line" If you sandblast the glass first, you can draw with the pencils and then fuse.

Good luck.

Sunshine and Summerday series are china paints that mature +/- 1500ºF. They are compatible with all the glasses we use as the thin layer of color is not a killer.
