Hi Andie,
I did a lot of cone 6 (ish) testing for a few years, I didn't really find a
glaze just like a beautiful temoku, but I did get a couple really nice
"iron saturate" glazes that would go black, to brown, to brick red
depending on clay/firing speed/cooling speed etc.
Here they are-
Super Deluxe Cone 5-8
Flint 24
EPK 4
Kona F4 16
Talc 11.2
Gerstley 25.6
Red Iron Ox 21.1
black/brown breaking to cobalt blue where thin
brick red with two coats dripping khaki
And-
Iron Brown (goes red when refired at 08-04) cone 4-7
