tan with iron specs glaze request

Hello all,

I'm looking for a cone 5-6 oxidation glaze that gives a tan
finish with black specs. Kind of a salt fire/wood fire
look.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks much,

John Baisch

I use 33 percent calcined granite, 33 percent ball clay and 33 percent
hardwood ash to get mottled tan glaze that starts at cone 6
