Pelly -
This may be what you are looking for ...
Apply a fluid glaze over your base glaze - but only on the rim - maybe
1/2" to 1" down. I'm sending two recipes for such a fluid glaze for
you to try. I have just received these recipes and haven't yet tested
them. Remember they may react differently depending on your base
glaze, firing and all the other variables.
An ash glaze will often have the same effect - I'm testing one now.
Swoosh # 1 Cone 6
44 feldspar
5 zinc oxide
19 colemanite
19 dolomite
2 whiting
5 kaolin
19 silica
3 bentonite
Swoosh # 2 Cone 6
26.0 whiting
14.0 Frit 3134
41.5 kaolin
11.0 silica
8.0 custer feldspar
20.0 zircopax
Hope these will give you the effect you're after - let us know
how you make out.

I've cheated a way to get what look like glaze runs from the top glaze
down over the lower glaze - turn the pot upside down and trail some
glaze from the point you wanted it to run to "up" to the lip or to
where the top glaze is already applied. Looks like a glaze run when
you turn the pot back over.

Hello Geri,
Just wanted to ask a question re "SWOOSH #1"....Do you happen to know
whether this is a soda or potash feldspar in the recipe?
Thanks

Hi, Tamsin,
The Swoosh # 1 recipe just says `feldspar' - I have been told several
times that if a recipe doesn't specify which feldspar, then go with
a potash feldspar. I am testing this glaze now and have used Custer
Feldspar.
