I am trying to find the formula for mocha ware. Someone told me to boil the
tabacco for 2 hrs. and let it sit for 2 days. Then I was to ad vinger but how
much! Any help would be apprciated. This is my frist post to clayart, I have
been potting off and on for 25 years. Thanks

Boil (at a low simmer) 25 grams of tobacco in a pint of water for 40
minutes. Sieve through a 200 mesh sieve. Add either 30 grams of RIO or
Manganese Oxide. (A friend also has used cobalt oxide). The mixture can be
stored if refrigerated but has to be reseived before it's use.
