About Coal Flowers
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have wanted to write to you ever since I saw someone asking for the recipe for coal flowers. Do, please, warn. folk that it spells ruin to some containers. I had a bow! with a glaze. The growth seems to have _ penetrating powers that have no limit. I saw a white powder on the outside of the bow}, and just wiped it off, and took no notice. It appeared on the oak sideboard, so I] put it in a lovely flat, china bowl. Before the trouble was really recognised (for I could not believe my husband’s words that damage was being done), the glaze was off the inside and outside of the bowl, the surface taken off the flat one, and later, the two little scrolls that served as handles just fell off. Two good articles quite ruined.
