  • Getting the Most out of Ceramic Glazes and Underglazes
    getting the most out of ceramic glazes and underglazes using commercial ceramic glazes and underglazes to achieve color, depth, and complexity Getting the Most out of Ceramic Glazes and Underglazes Using Commercial Ceramic Glazes and Underglazes to Achieve Color, Depth, and Complexity Ceramic glazes and underglazes are varied and wondrous concoctions. Because they can be complex, as well as for ease of use and time savings, most of us use commercial ceramic glazes to some extent. Chances are, even if you are a ceramic glaze mixing master, you have a few commercial ceramic glazes or underglazes around the studio for specific pot- tery applications. Maybe you want to rely on commercial glazes for your liner glaze, so you’re sure it will be food safe, or perhaps a commercial ceramic glaze provides that hard-to-formulate color you need for details in your surface decoration. Getting the Most out of Ceramic Glazes and Underglazes: Using Commercial Ceramic Glazes and Underglazes to Achieve Color, Depth, and Complexity provides several approaches and techniques to successfully identifying, applying and firing commercial ceramic glazes. A World of Color by David Gamble Underglazes are one of the most popular ways to add color to clay surfaces. They’re easy to use, and underglaze colors are pretty much a “what you see is what you get” kind of proposition—blue fires blue and orange fires orange. The best part is that underglazes come in all forms like underglaze pens, underglaze pencils, underglaze crayons, and more. Homemade Underglazes by Holly Goring Underglazes are widely avaialble but if you’re adventurous, you may want to try to mix your own.

Japan is a developed industrial country, but also a big producer of ceramics, although the total number of sales is lower than China, but the output ratio has been much higher than China. many useful business, philosophy, advanced management experience, cultural cultivation in the history of the development of Japan ceramics are worthy of reference for international peer. In the Ming dynasty, that is the Japanese Edo Yuan two years (1616) , China's ceramic art is already very mature, both the official kiln and the folk kiln have been able to burn beautifully blue and white, bucket color, glaze color, underglaze color, while the Japanese still is the world of tough pottery. At that time the kiln worker Li Canping was swept from the North Korea to Japan, looking for the clay, until found the porcelain clay in the mountain of the river, this amazing discovery ignited the Japanese kiln fire, but also prompt the original small village hidden the wild mountains has become the world famous Japanese porcelain city. 400 years has passed when the first time of white kiln porcelain came out gloriously from the 17th century Japanese history, this area with only 37 million square kilometers of the island's ceramic industry has also undergone enormous changes, 35 ceramic production enterprises come from 43 Japanese cities, counties and villages, the ceramic enterprises almost all cover the whole Japan.

The underglaze blues on both blue and white and 22 polychrome objects were created with a cobalt pigment that was rich in 23 manganese with lesser nickel and zinc. This suite of accessory elements is 24 generally considered to be characteristic of local, Chinese, sources of pigments. 25 However, the blue enamels were very different. The cobalt pigment here has low 26 levels of manganese and instead is rich in nickel, zinc, arsenic and bismuth. No 27 Chinese source of cobalt with these characteristics is known, but they closely 28 match the elements found in the contemporary cobalt source at Erzgebirge in 29 Germany. Textual evidence has been interpreted to suggest that some enamel 30 pigment technologies were transferred from Europe to China, but this is the first 31 analytical evidence to be found that an enamel pigment itself was imported.
