I read somewhere, long ago, that the Chinese (or maybe it was
Japanese) used a very heavy green tea solution to seal the crazing for
functional ware. Black coffee would probably do the same.

Mine Raku totally functional. :^) I use a fritted glaze and only use
oxides on the outside. I do not water quench the work but I do use reduction
materials. I've used my Cafe Latte bowls (my favorite rice and cereal bowls
and sometimes coffee bowls) for years with no ill effect. I've also use the
same fatty-white glaze with wax resist decoration on pilgrim flasks and they are
successful vases (hold water without use of sealant.)

this is certainly refreshing. I think you might not understand me Lee.
As I have said, if you know, the potter, not just buying in a shop, you
can trust his glazes.
From my point of view, you can use decorative wares for dry food.
I adopted the strict rules of clayart about food safety, that is why I
cannot consider raku as a food safe. If you can do such, very good!

Tony,
I had recently watched a program on the building of the great wall in
China. In the later years they had advanced their mortar technology
and it was recently discovered that they used rice hulls in the process.
I thought of this when writing my earlier post and wondered if rice
may be somehow involved. Rice is such a usefull plant.

I have a recipe from a tea master for this. It involves rice. I will look
for it and if I forget please remind me.
Thank you!
