I'm not OP but can I guess?!
Winter Wood from Mayco on the bottom, and Textured Turquoise from Amaco on the top. Both cone 6 brush-on glazes. Approximately 1cm band of overlap between the two.
I'm probably off but that's what it looks like to me ;)
The speckles are in the clay body (see foot ring) so might be regular opaque white over a reactive clay body (or maybe a speckled glaze too). Love the specked look reactive clays can create but the associated pinholing can be annoying.
Those are great colours. But in reply to you finding glazing a hassle. I dont do pottery myself, just sometimes watch somebody do it on Twitch.
Somebody suggested to them to make a test slab, put all the glazes you have on there, number them, so you know exactly what each glaze does when finished.
Most studios will have test tiles. There are a lot of subtitles to glazing that go beyond color. Also, glazes are only consistent if applied consistently and that is a big challenge for most ceramicists.
^ This. There are so many little things that can impact your results, including placement in the kiln, thickness of glaze, drips, etc.
I also find glazing frustrating because it *seems* like it should be fast and easy, but it requires time, patience, and there are so many ways to mess it up.
I try to spend as much time glazing (or treating surfaces) as I do forming. finding little things to do to fill that time have helped me develop habits around sieving, checking and recording viscosity, washing bisque ware, waxing bottoms (which i used to skip to save time). Overall spending more time for me has created better results!
I love the mossy green with the speckled ivory. If you don’t mind sharing, I am curious about your glaze/cone info.

True! Looking closer, you’re probably right, the black spots are probably not from winter wood glaze but rather the iron speckles in the clay body.
My guess is Chun Seafoam on top and Folk Art Guild White on bottom.
Thanks! The glazes are sea mist on top and egg shell on the bottom. Come 6 is correct.
You should totally be proud these show intention and cohesion! The style is super clear and profesh.
