I have a teacup here in front of me that has a reticulated glazed interior, made in Japan sometime in the 19th century. I wonder how they did it? I got the cups with a pot at a "recycle store" in Tokyo. Major manufacturers produced incrementally harder emulsions from World War Two on. These days, to get reticulation your best bet is to use film from an Eastern European manufacturer who uses "old" technology, although Fuji Neopan 400 will reticulate if you give it a really serious pH shock - I've seen it often from enthusiastic beginners who develop in Rodinal 1+25 and then use too-strong stop bath.
