Die Kunst weisses Steingut mit durchsichtiger Glasur nach Art der Franzosen und Engländer anzufertigen: nebst einer Abhandlung über die im Musselfeure eingeschmolzenen Steingutfarben

Abstract

Rare and extensive work on the manufacturing of fayence, with a chapter about clay and its cleansing, oven, turntables and turning, fuel and burning, over translucent glazes and burned painting. Before he started this volume, Bastenaire Daudenart visited the Stafforshire potteries. He was particularly impressed by the importance of the English factories, and wondered how an establishment which gave employment to close upon two thousand workmen could be conducted in such perfect order. Of all the technical improvements he saw there, for the first time, what surprised him the most was the regular application of steam power to pottery manufacture.
