Hi Debbie,
This was a glaze that the famous ceramicist Maija Grotell was noted for.
I've never seen a recipe for it, but it seems to me to be a layered glaze,
with the first glaze layer boiling up through the second layer. While in
class, I experimented with a few recipes that use an Albany/Alberta
slip-based glaze underneath a bristol-type glaze and was, I believe, on the
right track, however I had to move on to other things and haven't played
with it any more since. I think there are some of this type of glaze recipe
in Chappell's book.
Greg

Tiger Eye glaze was initially developed by Rookwood at the turn of the
century (1898-1900), and was quite elusive. It, along with a glaze named
Goldstone, was a glaze that (I believe) was based on their standard glaze,
but once in a while developed these crystals and sheets of crystals that
were pretty spectacular. Unfortunately, much as they tried, they could
not reproduce the glazes on a regular basis. It seemed that they only
occurred haphazardly, and rarely. You might try looking in one of the
many books about Rookwood for more information on the Tiger Eye glaze.

There is a book called "Rookwood Pottery - The Glaze Lines" by Anita
Ellis. (ISBN 0-88740-838-9). The Tiger's Eye glaze was elusive
indeed - in fact, it was more a less a "gift" from the kiln. They
tried for a long time to develop it, but were more often than not
unable to repeat the accident with any regularity.
This is a terrific book for anyone with an interest in glaze and it's
use, regardless of if you are a Rookwood collector.
