You didn't say whether you're looking for celadons or the chun/jun effects.
One place to look for examples is an exhibition catalog published by the Art
Institute of Chicago titled "The Color of Jade, the Clarity of Water"
For actual recipes I'd suggest starting with several books. First try both
of Robert Tichane's works Celadon Blues and Copper Reds.
Then go for Herbert Sanders "The world of Japanese Ceramics" And finally on
to Grebaniers "Chinese Stoneware Glazes". Between these four you'll find a
lifetime's worth of glaze recipes to work with.
As is carefully explained in Tichane's work, achieving these glaze effects
is not just a matter of dunking a pot in an appropriate bucket. Glazing
technique and firing(especially) will have huge effects as will clay body
and the materials you have at hand.
This may not be the help you wanted, but some heavy duty research is going
to be necessary to get what you want. Those that have achieved the effects
can be hesitant to share them because of the work they've gone to to get
there. There's one potter in Minneapolis that has spent years perfecting
his celadons and I don't blame him for keeping them quiet.

Boy, was I having a bad memory day. This should have been "the Radiance of
Jade and the Clarity of water". It covers the Atsaka collection of Korean
Celadon ware from about 1250 to

Dear Ray; Oriental Glazes was published in '78 in London; but this one was
published at the end of '99, and is his most recent work. Published by U of
Pennsylvania. Take a peek, it's dynamite! Hank in Eugene
