This is GA10-B Alberta Slip tenmoku glaze over L3954N black engobe (top half and inside of mug). The body is H550 buff speckled stoneware. The glaze only contains 2% added iron oxide and the engobe under it has 10% black stain, only a reduction atmosphere could produce this metallic effect with so little colorant.
This is the same reduction fired tenmoku piece in sunlight and a fluorescent flood lamp. The picture was taken by an iPhone and then cropped to a white background using the path tool in Photoshop. The whole mug is glazed with GA10-B. The inside and upper outside of the leather hard piece was engobed using L3954N.
