(In this illustrated article on "Mochaware", Mr. Foshee writes: "The
term mochaware was first coined not with reference to the familiar
beverage, but rather to suggest the visual similarity between the
seaweed like slip decoration on some early wares and mocha stone, a
type of English agate with mossy green or red striations.")
