Hi everyone,
I am looking for a commercial (already mixed) cone 5 glaze
that is a white speckled or white stoneware imitation glaze.
Like to use it for a dinnerware set as my main base color. I'm using a white smooth clay body
and would like to mimic a stoneware look on this....
Any suggestions...
Started searching and so far saw: Amaco cone 5 PC glazes with a layered look that may work....
PC-43 over PC-29 and PC27 over PC29
(for images of these - see:
http://www.amaco.com.../#layering-pc29
section:
Layering with PC-29 Deep Olive Speckle as a Base
Any other manufacturers? or other ideas?????

Amaco makes good products and their layering ideas are lovely. I would still encourage you to make a bunch of test tiles to try some combos on before you use it on your work. Like everything else in clay, your results may vary!

Amaco's layering is lovely in the charts, but it's definitely not as easy to reproduce as it looks. Do follow Chris's advice 
Also, they glaze the whole cup in both glazes, and many combos I suspect are not stable or foodsafe, especially the Palladium and Saturation Metallic. Look closely at the pics - many are pinholed - so just don't assume they are good fits to all clay

I like Coyote glazes although I have not comparison shopped a great deal. They have a cone 6 glaze called Oeatmeal which comes speckled and I found that it served as a great base glaze for overglaze decoration using Amaco Velvets and LUG's, (yes I'm getting a big commission from all of these companies). It even worked well with greens which can be difficult. I spoke to Martin Butts (Mr. Coyote) about this, and said that I wished that Oatmeal came unspeckled too, and he informed me that their glaze Eggshell was just that. Eggshell does work fine for midfire majolica-like use. They have another glaze, Alabaster Satin which is nice - but it doesn't work well with greens, and maybe other colors I havn't tested.
