Description

Pottery and Porcelain: a Dictionary of Terms by Bernard H. Charles. 'The making of pottery and porcelain abounds in a greater number of techniques and terms than other ancient crafts; and they are couched in language as diverse as the civilisations that made them and as the materials used. This glossary classifies and defines the terms in normal use and also records many that are either obsolete or obsolescent - the categories of equipment and processes that have been replaced by mechanical methods are instances and they are still of interest to craftsman. Some terms have more than one meaning, just as processes or styles have different names in different localities and countries. All such alternative information has been recorded by the author, and a classified cross-reference index and similar referencing in the text lead the reader easily to the required definition. This glossary serves as a supplementary volume to most books on ceramics and will be useful to the connoisseur as well as the craftsmen.'
