Albany slip 85%

we once had a glaze called "mouse black" which contained albany slip and
evidently cobalt. One time the person making the glaze accidently left out
the cobalt. and the result was a gorgeous mahogony colored deep brown......

Since the demise of albany slip, both glazes have vanished from our batch
of glazes.

but somehow I don;t think this is what you had in mind.....
