turquoise crackle glaze cone 6

Several years ago I mixed a batch of a cone 6/7 transparent turquoise
crackle glaze (electric fired).

Runs like mad, but gorgeous color. Just foot EVERY pot.

Well, I used the last of it & can't find the recipe - makes me wonder if I
was trying for something else, it may have been an accident.

I have some pictures of this glaze on my website, under the portfolio link -

Anyone have a top-notch, dependable, truly turquoise crackle cone 6 glaze
like this to share?

I appreciate it -

Top notch dependable, cannot say what would fit your parameters, however,
sounds like many a Alkaline Clears with 3% Cu added. They are often a
lovely celedon, turquoise and craze and run often. If you check the
archives, you will find glazes like this where I note that they crazed.
