I work in a ceramics factory as a glaze tech of sorts. What exactely are you
looking for , whats the application and what clay body are you using (color,
texture) We work at cone 5-6 oxy. What stains have you tried to date for
your tan, this will help me in which direction to go.

I like this amber glaze. Works at cone 5 or 6. Originally came from
the list I think. The tiny bubbles would add to the "brew" image.

Honey Amber

20 dolomite
20 frit 3134
20 spodumene
20 ball clay, used OM4
20 flint
2 bentonite

3 manganese dioxide
5 red iron oxide

Lovely amber with some tiny bubbles, floating dust crystals, nice
surface
