Antoinette, et alii...
Adelaide Alsop Robineau did a bit of work with eggshell porcelain 80 or 90
years ago. She completely bedded the pieces in sand before loading them in
the kiln in order to prevent warping. I read a write up describing some of
her techniques several years ago. I believe it was in the book "Adelaide
Alsop Robineau: Glory of Porcelain", but it may have been in Taxile Doat's
book "Grand Feu Ceramics". Both books are long out of print, so best to
obtain them through a library.
Hope it adds a piece to the puzzle.
All the best.
