If shinos sometimes appear to the beholder better being refired in a bisque temp, what if they were glazed in shino while green then bisqued and then high fired in reduction? That might save a firing. I'll try it to see what happens, too.

When I do multiple coats of shino, I sometimes put the first layer on
before bisque. But this isn't the same as bisquing after glaze firing.
Actually, if you take Steve's shino that was glaze fired, then bisqued
fired, and then glaze fire it again, it will change once more.

I sometimes glaze fire shinos several times and they change with each
firing.

The colour/texture forms in the high fire, the iron crystals are
developed further by the lower refire, or, you can look at your holiday
photos to relive a trip, but no trip, no photos.
