Maddogmike,

I think you are on the right track.

Of course you should test you glaze and porcelain if you're going to cone 10 to make sure they fit (shrink and contract at the same rate) correctly and avoid crazing.

You might want to consider a support wire armature.
The head might nod down a bit if you overfire on accident.

Otherwise you can glaze low fire in and out.

If you low fire glaze after going to vitreous, you need to change the body of the glaze for that purpose because it tends to "crawl" off the surface.
