Hi Bobbi Jo

This might not be exactly what you want, but - Lili Krakowski sent me this
recipe and it is my big favourite at the moment. I get various colours and
effects depending on thickness, poured, dipped etc. It's cone 6 oxidation, and I
am using a slightly grogged stoneware, which fires to a nice creamy off-white
colour.

The goblet and the vase are both poured, which gives you some idea of the
variety depending on thickness. The left hand test mug was first dipped in Rob
Egg, shows the specks quite well.
