These three mugs are made from L215 and fired to cone 04 (in a typical fast firing). The clear glazes are left: G3879E, middle: G2931K and right: G3879F1. The latter appears to be the most promising for creating the most transparent (although it is also applied a little thinner than the other two). That being said, the cloudy center glaze, G2931K, is aesthetically quite striking when applied thickly enough (as shown in the sample test tile).
