This melt fluidity tester demonstrates that the cone 6 G1214Z recipe fires highly melt fluid, much more than one might expect from a matte glaze. When applied as a thin layer on pottery it does behave as a matte glaze. A quick look at its chemistry reveals the reason: High CaO and a low Si:Al ratio. Unfortunately, many matte glaze are such simply because they are not melted enough.
