I thought I'd posted this last night but it hasn't shown up yet, so I'll try again
Karen Starshine ^6 from Val Cushing's Glaze Book

K-200 Feldspar 46.00
Soda Ash 5.00
Gerstley Borate 12.00
Whiting 10.00
Barium Carbonate 5.00
Lithium Carbontate 2.00
Flint 20.00
Add:
Macaloid 2.00
Titanium 4.00
Copper Carbonate 5.00

I haven't tested this glaze for safety, so I wouldn't recommend it be used for food surfaces. I' ve used it in oxidation, though the recipe states it can be used in both reduction or oxidation. Enjoy!

Hi Kevin,

I agree - if anyone wants to use this as a liner better give it the lemon
test for starters - and I would still want to know how much copper it would
leach.

Not hard to convert this glaze to use frit 3134 by the way - in case you
have no GB.

It will craze on must clay bodies.
