What is this ceramic glaze called?

 In the 50s & 60s silver or gold wet look beaded-up splatter glaze wasn't uncommon on ceramics but I can't remember what it's called. I can't find anything on ebay like it under any of those descriptions. For some reason my phone app won't  allow me to upload a photo...??  Thanks.

No, although I do love that spatter glazed ceramic stuff. I am now on a desktop computer but ebay still won't let me upload a photo and when I try to copy and paste a URL it tells me the URl is incomplete (but it's not). I have always been able to upload photos in the past so I don't know what's going on. Let me try putting the URL here:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-GOLDEN-DUCK-Piggy-Bank-by-Lego/122885294088?hash=item1c9c88c808:g:I...

 

I have one like this piggy bank and I know there is a name for that type of metallic glaze. The one above is gold. Mine is silver. Does this help at all? Sorry about the photo problem.

It looks like a Crawling glaze, AKA separation glaze used on ceramics when the glazing pulls together and beads up when fired. While it is usually an unintended fault for different reasons, some potters deliberately induce crawling by adding magnesium carbonate and or other additive recipes to achieve that bumpy look.
