You delete the TIN and the ZIRCON SILICATE it might be clear or milky.
I never tested these glazes/
You use tin alone,you get soft white you use icon silicate alone you
get cold shiny white. generally as a power of whiteness 1Tin = 2 Zircon
Silicate
You can add colorants. The whiteness reinforce the color I prefer the
ultrox. for majolica add 1-2% cmc to have it like a paper that you can
paint on it without any dust.
How to make the solution to the paint? You can see here,

For sculptural glaze
You can add to the glaze (test 1 2 3 4 5 ) 10Magnesium carbonate 20
