Finishing Ideas for Clay Boxes

I'm brain dead!! HELP!! My eighth grades have just finished clay boxes
using a theme of their choice. Most boxes have relief surfaces. They have lids
and many have feet. They look great, but I'm trying to decide on a
finishing technique. I'd like to offer the kids two choices. I really don't want to
use a "painterly technique" with underglazes - - something a little faster
would be nice. An antique look might be nice. I could buy special glazes at
a Pottery shop near the university if needed. Please share ideas!
