that is a kurt wild glaze....it came from a student named takahara.
it is nice...we have all used it.

raku/tak
fat white...big crackle
give it time to cool just a second/deep reduction

frit 3134 100
silica 6
epk 10
tin or opax 10 if you want a clear leave this out.
bentonite pinch

obviously all it is is 3134 with some things to stabalize it a bit.
nice glaze...takes copper well, i have a wonderful blue/green to
red/blood tea bowl....that shows all things copper does in one
pot.
