Rosie's Red can actually turn out red!

Latest firing resulted in some interesting glaze results.  I used a glaze called Rosie's Red on a few pieces.  This glaze is one of the standard Kingston Potters' Guild class glazes.  In the past when I've used this glaze I would get a heterogeneous shiny brown glaze, OK, but nothing spectacular and I always wondered why it was called Rosie's Red (looked consistently brown to me).  I decided to try some Rosie's on a few of my pieces in the last firing (basically I was tired of spraying and quickly dipping the remaining pieces in glaze was a way to get out of the studio sooner - it was a beautiful spring day).  Perhaps the relatively quick dip, along with a soak and slow cool during the firing did the trick - Rosie's was actually red!  or at least reddish and also satiny instead of shiny.  I found a Clayart thread that states that slow cooling is the ticket for red/orange tones with this glaze.
