You might be able to get some interesting effects at cone six with
slip glazes under ash glazes. The slip glaze bubbles through the
ash glaze. There was an article about 15 years back in CM.

small-scale, seemingly constricted form that challenges the artist to
go beyond mere technical virtuosity and find an approach that both
satisfies and transcends the conventions." -- Rob Sliberman

<technical reason? Never seem to see it...>>
The temperature for the optimum auto-reduction of Red Iron Oxide at
atmospheric pressure is in excess of 1300 deg C (2372 F)
This can be nuisance when it is not intentional and iron oxide is present a=
s
minor impurity. The oxygen released can give rise to pinholing.
