Liner is MC6G Raw Sienna. The spots are from some wax I flicked on.
This was in a saggar with two pieces of charcoal cut in half and about 1/3 cup of wood chips.

Thank you, I would like to see a photo of your saggar.  I followed the link you posted and really like the orange on the inside with the shades of gray and black on the outside.

Thanks! It's definitely easy to get the heavy reduction required for the blacks and grays using a saggar. Even the porcelain body is pretty dark gray on this pot - you can see it at the very bottom. The oranges are also easy if you wax right after glazing (before the Soda Ash starts to migrate to the outside of the pot). I just flicked the wax on, but you can make any pattern you like. If you (or anyone else) is interested, I can post a pic of one of my saggars. It's very simple - just a hand built container made of a cone 10 body that can handle a lot of firings (I used Soldate 60, but anything that would work well for Raku and doesn't have a ton of iron should be fine) that's big enough to hold your pot plus some charcoal and wood chips. I use some high temp fiber blanket (SuperWool 607HT) with a kiln shelf on top to seal the sagger, but you could also use a bisqued lid.

Also check out this shot by Kitoi (on this site), which really impressed me and got me motivated enough to start testing...

This is wonderful!  I've been looking for a cone 6 shino that is black/gray and has orange highlights.
