    This particular piece didn't have any flux on it, but tons of other
    stuff I've tossed in that pot have, so maybe the flux is in the
    pickle itself. The result did look like a glaze. It was certainly as
    resistant to scrubbing and wire brushing as a glaze would be! 

    Anyway, I re-fired the piece which burned off the coating. It looks
    fine now. It was just a curious result.
