I've tried this, but with a dark slip on a light stoneware clay body. Recently, I did it with sodium silicate added to the slip. I did not have a propane torch; so, I had to use a rather lukewarm old heat gun, which took a lot longer to dry the surface of the slip. But it ended up turning out beautifully with some very nice crackling on the surface with the light clay showing through the dark slip.
In my channel is a video of Mike Dodd using dry china clay on the outside of a pot before expanding it - no heat used (although I think wearing a dust mask would be a good idea)

I love this sort of texture - I wonder if he had any sodium silicate mixed into the white slip?
Bravo!!!!
