New expanded edition
The aim of this book is to take stock of the materials and skills associated with ceramics and developed by man over the last 25,000 years. All the components involved in the manufacture of ceramics are presented here, along with firing methods and the countless possibilities for decoration.
650 entries and more than 900 photographs (reports, laboratory photos, macros and rare pieces) reinforce the exhaustive nature of this work, which has taken more than twenty years to complete. The rich iconography makes the book easy to read, without detracting from the rigour of its content. Finally, a chapter dealing with the defects and alterations of ceramics and presenting the various restoration techniques will be of particular interest to collectors and antique dealers.
