Why is it called mystery glaze? Because you don't know what it will look like! It is made from a bunch of different glazes mixed together.
You can make mystery glaze when...
you have just a little bit of glaze left in a bottle but not enough to use on it's own
your students didn't stir a glaze with color burst crystals in it good enjoy and there are a bunch settled at the bottom
you have dried up bits of glaze that you don't want to throw out but can't rehydrate on its own

I used the mystery glaze on the inside of this mug and you can just see a bit of the color in this picture. |
Now if someone can't decide on a glaze color, they don't care what goes on the inside of pottery, or they just want the fun of a surprise, mystery glaze is the answer! So far ours has ended up blue-is with bursts of other colors but the glaze will change as we get further into the container since it will have a different mixture of glazes making up that portion.
*You should obviously make sure that you only mix glazes that mature in the same range and make sure they are all dinnerware safe if there is a chance they could be used on pottery!
