NIGEL WOOD - Chinese Glazes. Their Origins, Chemistry, and Recreation

Title: Chinese Glazes. Their Origins, Chemistry, and Recreation
Description: A&C Black, 1999. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 280. Chinese ceramics and their glazes have been admired throughout history for their extraordinary qualities and colours- not least in China itself where their appearance has been compared variously to jade, to tea-dust, to hare's fure, or to the 'colour of the sky after the rain'. In this book, Nigel Wood traces the development of Chinese glazes from the Bronze Age to the present day. He carefully describes how Chinese glazes were made, and how they evolved over some 3000 years of continuous production. He provides analyses and shows how their superb qualities can be reproduced with common Western raw materials. The book is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of colour plates of Chinese potters and Chinese skills. ISBN: 9780713638370. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
