Hi Phil,
The Weathered Bronze Green that Susan mentioned was developed as a cone
9 glaze. It just happens to have a broad enough firing range that it
also works (barely) at cone 6. That is probably why people firing it at
cone 6 have pinhole problems with it at times. You can go straight to
it at:

The Weathered Bronze Green I described in my initial reply is a ^6 Oxidation glaze. Sorry for the omission.

Subject: Copper/manganese glaze?
Hi folks.
Been working on some lighting fixtures with the look of turn of the century
metal work. Craftsman style with mica shades.
Simulated hammered metal bands with rivets.
I'm gettin this look dialed in pretty well but do not yet posess the glaze
know-how to pull it off. I was thinking I could glaze these works with
something that resembled bronze or copper. Maybe even try the low fire
metallic lusters on the bands and rivets. I have seen some work by Lucy Rie
that had glazes which looked like tarnished copper. I believe they were
Manganese/copper glazes.
Anyway, I have several of these pieces ready to go and if any of you could
point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thanks.
Phil...

Dear Susan,
I also forgot to mention I was working with a cone 10 light burning
clay body. Will be fired in reduction.
Thanks.
