I need a clear gloss or satin glaze that will mature at cone 08 that I can
use on the inside of vessels that I pit fire.

Are you expecting this glaze to mature in the pit fire or fire it in a kiln
first? Seems like it would have to be one heck of a glaze to withstand the
sudden surge of heat from the fire. Surely it would craze from this
extreme, IMO, thus making it useless for a container for liquids. I have
put glazes as decoration on the outer surface of the pot for the pit fire
and the crazing was one of the decorative features as the cracks filled with
carbon and looked great.
