Looking through my ancient notes, I found
reference to "pink oxide". I have no idea what
this could be or the modern equivalent. Could
anyone help please?

the modern potter's hair curl! Low fire
transparent lead, cone 07 to 05: White lead 78,
Whiting 13, China clay 9... Instant death!

I try NOT to think of all my little boy pals in the Kentucky mountains
who went with me to visit my dad's warehouses ..... they took what were
called "torpedoes" (because they exploded) and placed them on the
railroad tracks that ran along the side of the warehouse for easy
unloading, fastened them down with some sort of lead strips...
dashed madly away when the train came roaring past, running over the
torpedoes causing loud (and dangerous, I might add) reactions. BUT the
terrible part is that my no-sense-whatsoever buddies then rescued the
softened lead strips and CHEWED on them ... they liked the chewy, sweet
texture. Let's see..... one became the mayor; one, a lawyer; two are
still businessmen in town and one is a teacher .... all living into old
age as far as I know.

Janet,
Can you imagine what those glazes did to the
gene pool!
So here's a question for our geneticist potters?
What are the effects of various elements used in clay
production on DNA?

onto my kids besides a warped sense of humor!??? :)

Can't recall his name but a highly regarded British scientist published a
book about 15 years ago arguing that life's basic building blocks( RNA)
originated in clay.
