And what about the ultimate in Diet Mugs?
A cylinder with a handle and no bottom!
I think we have really touched on something here!
Move over Bill Gates!

Why didn't we all think of this before?? Just think of it. A
shelf in your drug store: NutriMugs. Glazes custom made to
leach just the right balance of ingredients into your tea for
optimum health: Lithium mugs for depression. Calcium/magnesium
mugs for strong bones. Iron mugs for anemia. Kaolin mugs for
bowel problems. Chromium mugs for weight loss. We could make up
something for Silica mugs. Wollastonite mugs should cost extra
cuz the name sounds pricey. Am I on to something here or what?
This has to be how we potters finally join the millionaire's
club. Ron can help us formulate glazes that leach like crazy,
and people will need to buy more mugs as theirs leach out. We
would charge hefty fees for mug testing. Or maybe the mugs
should fade when leached out, like the toothbrushes.
Nonleaching mugs would be tossed. We would document the
leachiness of the glaze with an Alfred Lab guarantee.....Shoot,
I just burned dinner writing this.....
Jennifer, extremely testy after a hard week. Sorry. The
crematorium kiln got me going.... ;-)

I am laughing my butt off! Jennifer, this is *brilliant*! Maybe not too feasible,
but really funny. Good job, and sorry about your dinner!

I love it, I LOVE it, I LOVE it!!! Of course I am yelling, have to, to be
heard over my screams of laughter!
We could take a leaf out of Lucretia Borgia's book
gifts for those folk you love to hate? A Barium rich leaching mug
with some Manganese decoration? I got it! Mayor Mel can dole
these out to Clayart grouches watch those tempers everybody!
Toni with nasty dark thoughts from Africa, I wonder if that's why it
is called the dark continent?

What a neat idea. I would like to wait until you have
refined the method so much, that the chemical
combination emulates the taste of whisky and ginger in
the winter and gin, tonic with a twist of lemon in the
summer. Just add water and away you go...
According to the original Hebrew, Jesus was a "master
craftsman" or "master builder" (not a carpenter
specifically) so maybe he was a potter and the water to
wine trick was the original version of your idea? They
do after all say that everything is in the bible and
there is not such thing as a new idea.
I suspect arsenic mugs would be top of the high
leaching request list. You may find an even bigger
demand for these if you are prepared to write "To Pansy
Lily, the best mother-in-law in the world" and stuff
like that on them to order. A real get rich quick idea.
Janet Kaiser - Obviously the combination of hot weather
AND full moon has gone to my head. Last Sunday I went
home with lips blue from cold even though I had thermal
underwear on. This Sunday and it topped 100 F!! Our
climate has always been crazy, but a 60 deg. swing?

Love the concept.
The workshop broke up on this one.
Ideas:
Demitasse mugs for under 5yrs.
Large mugs for big boys.
Individual family member mugs (don't use another's medication).
No beer steins (mustn't mix alcohol & medications).
Cups & saucers for the genteel patient.

You are all insane - leave me out of this!
Turning his head he then wispers "it's easy to make unstable glazes -
perhaps we can use the profits for more research."

Indeed, indeed - and instead of doing all the work for
no return, you could just get a percentage - like a singer
from CD's sold, a writer for books. It would be a plus
for the label, just as a book by Michael Crichton, a
movie from Spielberg - anything
saying "glaze design by Ron Roy" would sell umpteen times
as much. You'd be competing with Bill Gates before you
know it. Anyway, a little insanity never hurt anyone. Much.
Give this further thought, Ron....

It would have been great to have a lithium-leaching coffee mug for a family
member who was too manic to take the lithium as prescribed...he need never
have known WHY it was his personal mug!!! (WG)
