Pottery Decoration Under the Glaze
1880
Pottery Decoration Under the Glaze, written by M. Louise McLaughlin and first published in 1880, is a detailed guide on under-glaze pottery decoration techniques. It combines practical advice and scholarly insights, drawn from over two years of experimentation, focusing on methods to enhance both the beauty and durability of pottery. McLaughlin covers essential topics such as clay selection, color mixing, and firing conditions, while distinguishing between under-glaze and over-glaze techniques. This work is significant for its comprehensive approach to the decorative arts in ceramics during the late 19th century.
