one of my nicest raku pieces is(coincidentially) a
mask I titled "Aging" where I used a low fire englobe by accident. The result was that the glaze crazed in a big way seperting(not from the clay but from itself) by about 1/8 inch, hence it looked like a really old wrinkled face and that's where it got it's name, Aging. after i did the raku firing though on it, I coated it in a very low fore clear glaze to gloss over and bond the englobe to the clay permently- I did that a few weeks later because i noticed some of the glaze was flaking off the piece. I guess what I'm saying is there are infinite possibilities. And while there may be more optimal bodies or glazes to use, you can get striking results by accident and give your piece that unique look to it.

If you have that one around, you should get your Dad to photograph it today.. I would like to see it too. (o:
