non-flowing glaze

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a cone 6 glossy base that has a minimal amount of flow.
My problem is that I am trying to glaze a vase with a background color of
cobalt carb. and glaze applied sprigs with different color stains using the
same clear base. All the colors flow into each other. If I glaze very
lightly to avoid this, the glaze is too transparant.

Thanx

Increase the Al2O3 by about 2 % and you will notice less running.
