cp, The clay is a toast brown clay, I get here in Tex. called cinco rojo, from armadillo clay in Austin. There is raised slip on the mug, creamer, and sugar, and the butterscotch breaks on and over it. The tray is the same, and you can see where it breaks over my throwing rings, but still smooth to the touch. The cream color is a glaze called butterscotch, not a slip. It is a second glaze on top of blue rutile. I have the recipes posted here as well and got them from folks on this site.
hope that answers your question.

Butterscotch over Tony's blur rutile. Nice sand beach color with the blue, but it ran like mad just dipping the rim. I like the combo, just need to fix the running .
