The oxides leave a earthy matt glaze a bit like the finish on peanut mug, very fitting for the cargo cult theme. I finally got the mugs back after the glaze firing on Thursday and stupidly had them in my bag when I went to the pub, and dropped my bag down a heard a nasty "crunk". Yup I'd managed to break the Cargo Cult Bob, knocked a segment of the top ring off or more exposed some sloppy workmanship on my part, I've glued it back together and I think its better to damage one yourself than loose one to the kiln.
