I got 114 hits, messages pertaining to the question you asked. If that
doesn't get you the information you are after, I'll be surprised. Hint,
search on: mocha tea and you'll narrow the list of e-mails to 31.
I hope this helps.

I now know how to ask a question!!!!!!! The question was about the early
American Mocha ware, Y'know the stuff where tobacco is mixed with stuff in
a solution and colorants are added and then it's dropped on wet slip and it
makes really cool 'tree' patterns. I'm just looking for a recipe because
none of my books has it. Thanks again.

Look. The formal recipdes all use boiled tobacco which stinks and is
toxic.
Much nicer: strong vinegar and colorants. There is 6% vinewgar or I let
4% evaporate to "reduce it." I think I mention in my Pottery Making
Illustrated article fo a few years back "SHOWING YOUR SLIP"
Add your colorant remembering that some COLORANTS are toxic, and test to
make sure the slip takes it well AND the glaze does not dissolve.

My biggest complaint about using "tobacco tea" was that if you don't use it
fairly soon, it will develop mould on top of the "tea"---pretty disgusting!
Keeping it in the fridge slows that process, but I felt it was sort of like
keeping a urine sample or some other gross thing in the fridge---I wanted a
separate fridge! The strong vinegar sounds great; I will try it. I assume
if I boil it down to 2/3 volume, it will be the right percent?

To reply to your reply. What's your hurry. A flat glass pan like you
use for lasagna set in a warm place will "reduce" the vinegar in it pdq.
The % is not that importance. TEST! If it flows nicely that's it.

We have spent the last year restoring a house that dates from about 1620 and
setting up Wellbeloved Gallery so I have left a whole heap of things in my
"round-tuit" heap including getting up to date with ClayArt mail. I read it
every night but I haven't always got round to replying or joining in
discussions. (memo - do better). I have found some correspondence and
queries about mochaware dating back to February. I have been making cone 6
mocha landscapes since about 1984, it took me five years with a hammer in
the other hand to get the effects I wanted. You can see the effects on the
mochaware page on my website. If I can be of any help to anyone trying to
do the same please contact me
