I would like to thank everyone who has replied to me on the list as
well as sending me an email in regards to my question about salt
firing. Just to let you all know, the clay is a "standard" ^10
stoneware clay, and the salt was not introduced until ^8 fell. I am
sure that my instructor would have told us if there would be a problem
with it being used on plates, mugs, and such, but I can't remember. I
would have noted it in my notebook (which there isn't any trace of a
note I checked) So, I will continue to eat off my plates and drink
out of my mugs. I think they are safe, but I am not so sure about my
drinking water though! I do have a water filter for that!

Thanks a bunch
