More about the Designs...   Feather/Seaweed is an old pattern, developed in England and Scotland in the 1600s.  A tabacco tea is made with colored oxides added; cobalt for blue, chrome for green, and applied with a brush onto a band of wet white or colored slip. After firing, it is covered with a clear lead-free glaze.   Rockingham is a glaze.  Clear glaze is colored with manganese oxide and sponged onto the pot.   Worms, Scrolls and Bands are applied with slip trailers to a leather hard pot before its first firing.  After firing it is covered with a clear lead-free glaze.   Mocha Ware is a name loosely given to the variety of patterns above and others on yellow clays as well as red clays and white clays.
