Chun red?

I've not bought glazes in the past, but I took a chance and bought a bunch of Chun Red from Laguna and I can't seem to find the right thickness, firing temperature, etc.
It's a bit disappointing to spend a lot of time preparing my hand-dug clay and then unloading a bunch of pots that don't excite me. Part of the problem may be that I'm red/green color blind. There may be some subtle colors I'm not seeing, but when the glaze is thick, I definitely see a rich red.
Here's a few examples of the latest bunch:





I can't seem to find the right combination of decorating for my local clay. It's a rich reddish clay fired to cone 6. I impressed some trees on a few pieces and brushed terra sigilatta on them. I loved the finish. But the impressing is a very time consuming technique and not easy. Here's an example of the terra sig trees:


I'm missing the flow of production throwing. Maybe I should experiment with some more terra sigilatta application combined with other slips, but I really should stick with what I know works, especially at this time of year, when business picks up. Too many irons in the fire....
