Glazing results

A recent glaze firing resulted in some interesting and disappointing outcomes. This post will focus on the disappointing since you need to know about some of the glazes before doing your next glazing. If you are aware of whose pieces these are, please let me know so we can document the glazes and processes they used.
This cup may have had Gloria's overdipped with BTBT or Milky Blue. The bottom glaze ran and stuck.
 
These 3 photos are of the same bowl. Again it looks like Gloria's was used. Besides running it also blistered in the bottom. It could be both pieces with Gloria's used a thick application. Or, it could be that this batch of Gloria's is defective.

 
Another example of Gloria's running. Again thickness may be the problem.

 
Would like to know the combinations on  these. None ran and the top left and bottom right are interesting. The latter is particularly so because it looks like Nutmeg and Gloria's with no running. 
  
Milky Blue on tail, Jade on head?
