seeking mochaware potter

Hi, Everyone.

I have a mochaware mug I purchased about twenty years ago. It is not
antique- I purchased it at a craft show. I was fairly new to clay at the
time and was unfamiliar with the process. I remember the potter
explaining the basics to me. I am curious if he is still producing this
type of ware. It appears to be oxidation fired and the bottom is
stamped MANN. I'm not sure of his first name but it may have been
Roscoe. I live in Connecticut and I think I purchased the piece here (if
not then in New York or Pennsylvania). Any information will be
appreciated. Thanks.

Musing on how the internet will change my NCECA experience. In the past
I've always met new people at the conference. Seeing Clayarters will be
meeting people for the first time who are not really new. I'm looking
forward to it.
