Well, WHAT IS mother in law blue, Mel? Is it anything like "Stop it before
it multiplies" in Ron & Jon's book?

Maybe it's like the blue I got when I was pretty new to all this, and used a
strong solution of cobalt carb. & water for overglaze decoration on a white
bowl. It really made me wince when I saw it come out of the kiln.
