Jennifer, Thank you for sharing this glaze with me. Here it is on one of my lidded jars on cone 5 brown clay. It has a few pin holes on this clay; not so much on my cone 6 clay. Looks and feels like honed marble. Im still working on amount of coats to put on, and the right amount of water in the bucket! thanks again,

The glaze looks like Milk Glass and the Copper airbrushed on it gives it the look of a really old antique, nice work. Denice
