Absolutely positively get yourself a copy of "The Arcanum". I don't
remember the author, but it is on amazon or google-able.

It is the history of porcelain, the discovery of it by the Chinese and
the envy of it by the Europeans, particularly the Germans. It goes
through the process of the creation, the politics, the physical creation
of porcelain.

I generally don't care for historical books, but this one is a page turner.

Dear Lois et al;

Unfortunately, as accurate as the reportage on European porcelain
achievments is, Janet Gleeson's reportage on the developoment of
southern chinese porcelain has some errors that confuse the issues for
potters today. She assumes that Jingdezhen wares were based upon kaolin
mixed with petuntse. In fact, the Song pots were made almost
exclusively from Petuntse, a Rhyolitic rock very low in Fe and Ti and
having half its alkali load dissolved by hot gases and steam, thus
rendering the Petuntse perfect as a body around cone 8+ and wonderfully
translucent. I have seen some of these old pots that you could count
your fingers through, even though normal thickness. As the weathered
Petuntse ran out, they were forced to use kaolin to make up for the
loss of plasticity, until now there is only around 20_30% petuntse in
their bodies.

Cheers, Hank

Dear,

If you are really interest in Chinese porcelain bodies (including history, techniques and materials in each different province in China), I recommend a book (very thick and quite expensive) about Chinese porcelain which is the most rigorous one and best descriptions through a long research so far I have read. It also contains information about European porcelain related with Chinese porcelain.

Kerr, R. and Wood, N. (2004) Science and civilisation in China. Chemistry and chemical technology Vol. 5, Ceramic technology Part XII, Kerr, R. (ed.), Cambridge University press. Cambridge.

Best regards,
Kim

I suppose I was more taken by the idea that some of the best and brightest
scientists and engineers were locked up and kept in virtual slavery in order
to satisfy the king's desire for a superior porcelain. It is really a great
story, minutiae aside.
