Chinese Glazes: Their Origins, Chemistry, and Recreation Paperback – February 2, 2011

This is an amazing book. I have never encountered another quite like it. There are many formulas for the most beautiful ancient Chinese glazes. Anyone who loves ceramics whether it is the history or the actual making of ceramic ware this book will explain the glazes, applications and give the formulas for the glazes. The book also tells the origins of the glazes, histories, and provenance of ware. There are also color photos of the ware some enlarged photos and some magnified images. It is a brillant work bravo!

Wow! A knockout book on Chinese glazes from the Neolithic on. Nigel Wood provides the chemical formulas for the glazes and bodies as well as firing profiles.

This book is rather technical including lots of detail info (e.g. percentage of the chemical component etc) , but if you're looking for an entry level introduction book, this is not for you.

I had a friend that had this book, and I decided that this needs to be add to my library. Its needed if your a ceramicist.

Great book....contains much of the info I needed!

Book arrived as the seller said it would. Enjoyed it very much

fewer photos more technical

worth 7 stars and a wow.
