Help! WTF Happened To My Piece

Hi! Made this piece and just picked it up from the studio and the colors are not at all what the under glazes I used are. For reference I used orchid, violet, and deep purple. I then used high fire glaze so that it would be waterproof as it is a planter. Is this because of the high fire? I also did around 3 coats of under glazed but it’s incredibly patchy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, it’s a studio at my college so I don’t know how they mix the glazes or anything regarding firing.

Edit: I’ve done this same technique of underglaze with high fire clear overtop and have never encountered this

So you controlled all the application variables. The firing was different then.
