This is GR6-H Ravenscrag Slip oatmeal over G1214M black on porcelain at cone 6 oxidation to create an oil-spot effect. Both were dipped quickly.
At various thicknesses on M340, M370, P300. Fired at cone 6 oxidation using the C6PLST firing schedule.
For speckle add granular manganese (adjust the percentage to get the desired speckle density, start at 0.25%). Since the manganese particles are very heavy, and thus want to settle out, the glaze slurry should be thixotropic and stirred before each dip.
