This is a VERY good texture. It looks glazed to me because of the speculars. 
It is not the shiny glaze of course, but the one I personally prefer, a 
discrete one which you see on stoneware utility pots for instance.

You may try an extra texture layer with a semi-transparant pigment, a 
specular finish, and a normal using either one of the crackles, or facets.
