Colour in Glazes
An essential handbook for studio potters working towards achieving a fantastic spectrum of colourful glazes. Colour in Glazes teaches you all the methods for achieving colour in glazes, focusing on colouring oxides in detail, including the newly available rare earth oxides. Find out about the types of base glazes and the fluxes used to make them in relation to colour response as well as using colouring oxides to achieve depth and variety of colour, rather than resorting to commercial ceramic stains. Discover the practical aspects of mixing, applying, testing and adjusting glazes, and explore a large section of test tiles and glaze recipes for use on white earthenware, stoneware and porcelain fired in electric, gas and salt kilns. This new edition, fully updated and revised, contains advances in technology and new discoveries in the Periodic Table. It is an infallible handbook to achieving the colour you want, and to help you broaden your palette.
London's Delftware Industry
Tin-glazed or 'delftware' manufacture began in London at Aldgate (from c.1750), and ceased at Glasshouse Street in Lambeth in 1846. In the decades following the closure of the Aldgate pothouse in c.1615 or c.1620 tin-glazed ware manufacturies opened in London with increasing frequency, and with a strong presence south of the River Thames. This publication combines documentary evidence with that from archaeological interventions (1979-92) at five tin-glazed ware production sites on the south bank of the Thames - the Montague Close, Pickleherring and Rotherhithe pothouses in Southwark, and the Norfolk House and Glasshouse Street pothouses in Lambeth - and discusses the tin-glazed pottery industries of Southwark and Lambeth in a wider context.

The Materials and Technology of Glazed Ceramics from the Deh Luran Plain, Southwestern Iran
This study examines the factors that govern technological change by focussing on a single industry: the production of glazed ceramics in Mesopotamia. How does innovation appear in any technological system? What brings change to a particular industry? Since technological change is socially contextualized, we must investigate how innovation appears within a particular technology and how that innovation is replicated and disseminated through social networks. Glazed ceramics recovered during the archaeological survey of the Deh Luran Plain, located in southwestern Iran, here serve as the material basis on which the history of lead-based glaze technology is reconstructed. This large ceramic assemblage is described in detail, and subjected to a full complement of archaeometric techniques, combined with historical analysis and independent dating. The history of the development of lead-based glaze over time is thus examined in light of the von Hippie model of technological innovation and the incorporation of such innovations into productive industry.

Salt Glazing
Salt-glazing has a long history, from its early use in German storage jars to Victorian industrial sewage pipes to its current position as one of the most exciting areas of studio ceramics. In this book, Phil Rogers looks at all aspects of this very special glazing technique. He starts with a brief overview of the history of salt glazing and then discusses the technical considerations that set this form of glazing apart from all others. Given particular consideration are kilns, which are such an important factor in this technique. Finally he presents a survey of the world's leading artists using this particular medium. Salt glazing, with its distinctive 'orange peel' surface, has long attracted both makers and collectors. This beautifully illustrated book should be a must on the reference shelves of all ceramicists and collectors or studio ceramics, but it should particularly appeal to all those who enjoy the wonderful surface textures that this medium provides.
Lead Glazed Pottery
This is a curated and comprehensive collection of the most important works covering matters related to national security, diplomacy, defense, war, strategy, and tactics. The collection spans centuries of thought and experience, and includes the latest analysis of international threats, both conventional and asymmetric. It also includes riveting first person accounts of historic battles and wars.Some of the books in this Series are reproductions of historical works preserved by some of the leading libraries in the world. As with any reproduction of a historical artifact, some of these books contain missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. We believe these books are essential to this collection and the study of war, and have therefore brought them back into print, despite these imperfections.We hope you enjoy the unmatched breadth and depth of this collection, from the historical to the just-published works.
