Traces the development of Chinese glazes and glazing techniques from antiquity to the modern era. Nigel Wood describes how glazes were made, provides an analysis of their composition, and shows how they can be duplicated today with common raw materials available in the West.

A straightforward, practical guide for those interested in the boundless possibilities of this ceramic technique. The book contains more than one hundred color illustrations, diagrams, and slip formulas, plus examples of the slipcast work of contemporary ceramicists from around the world.
