Anyone have a stable milky white glaze recipe that breaks nicely? I
need cone 6-8 range.

TIA,
Billie

Use a transparent gloss or matte and add enough opacifier to make it
somewhat opaque where thick and more transparent where thin. Thus it
will 'break' on the edges of pieces because the glaze is thinner. It
should take about 6-10% zircopax. Add a little colorant to amplify
the breaking effect.
