Working with new glaze is always a risk. Each clay body, even from the same company is different. Every glaze is mixed different, even from the same company. Glazing a dish from the same bottle can give a different result. The one thing to remember when working with clay and glaze is to not have an expectation. Forrest Gump would have better described life as a glaze fire kiln, instead of a box of chocolates.

Here are some of my latest fires that were successful -

Glaze - Assorted

And some that were not. Sometimes you just don't get what you want either. This is a case of firing at the wrong temp.
