jeff, etal. dug up this recipe, sounds like what you decribe. after all
the various responses to your post, dolomite wash etc.. it makes sense
that this would do it, it's essentially a tenmokku w/ some dolomite in it.
also, i've had lovely results using st. johns yellow over any
dark glaze-- can get runny-- beware.

black gold ^10 red or ox

g-200 spar 41
whiting 7
ball clay 7
dolomite 12
flint 33
red iron ox 10

st. john's yellow ^10 reduc.

custer spar 39.5
whiting 3.8
dolomite 14.7
talc 11.7
ball clay 9.7
flint 18.0
strontium 1.8
zircopax 3.5
red iron ox 3.0

enjoy.
