It doesn't appear to be a specific glaze but a glazing technique.
Mackay also does it with his cobalt glaze.

Just any workable temmoku would do. Mark the pot out with grid lines,
I use charcoal sticks. Try dotting the pot with hot wax.
I think Nigel Wood in "Chinese Glazes" may have described
this glaze. I'll know when my ordered copy arrives. I also managed to
locate a copy of Grebanier's "Chinese Stoneware Glazes" & a copy
of Harry Davis's "The Potters's Alternative".

My new/old copy of Grebanier arrived today.
To get an effect similar to the one Sam is interested in he "excavated"
spots in a temmoku glaze & replaced them with a lighter coloured glaze.
