I'm looking for information on a type of ceramic firing process/glaze
that produces
a surface that looks like hematite (a stone), but is a bit more matte.

So, a greyishblack, pearly surface.....

I saw samples of some pieces like this recently in an exhibit of Mexican
ceramics and am curious to know what the glaze consists of and what the
process would involve.

I'm a newcomer to ceramics.

Thanks.
