Chinese ceramics and their glazes have delighted and enthralled the
world for centuries. In this book, Nigel Wood traces the development of
Chinese glazes from the Bronze Age to the present day. He carefully
describes how Chinese glazes were made, and how they evolved over some
3000 years of continuous production. He provides analyses and shows how
their superb qualities can be reproduced with common Western raw
materials. The book is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of colour
plates of Chinese potters and Chinese kilns.
