This is G3933A oatmeal glaze fired at cone 6. But this is how it looks out of my kiln (using the C6DHSC drop-and-hold slow-cool firing schedule). On my clay body, Plainsman M390. At the thickness I have applied it. Using my materials and my method of mixing and application. Of course, having the recipe is the first step for you to make this (tap the code number above to see it). The next step is being able to adjust it. Adjust what? The degree of matteness. What I get here is a combination of the cooling rate (from the already-mentioned firing schedule), and the ratio of matte G2934 and glossy G2926B glazes I use (this is an 85:15 matte:glossy mix) to which I add the iron, tin and rutile. However, in your circumstances, the pure matte may be OK (if there is no cutlery marking). Or it might be too matte and require an increase in the percentage of glossy. Or, you might choose to cool the kiln faster or slow (to get more gloss or matteness).
