  • Phase Evolution of Ancient and Historical Ceramics
    EMU Notes in Mineralogy, Vol. 20 (2019), Chapter 6, 233–281 The struggle between thermodynamics and kinetics: Phase evolution of ancient and historical ceramics 1 2 ROBERT B. HEIMANN and MARINO MAGGETTI 1Am Stadtpark 2A, D-02826 Go¨rlitz, Germany [email protected] 2University of Fribourg, Dept. of Geosciences, Earth Sciences, Chemin du Muse´e6, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland [email protected] This contribution is dedicated to the memory of Professor Ursula Martius Franklin, a true pioneer of archaeometric research, who passed away at her home in Toronto on July 22, 2016, at the age of 94. Making ceramics by firing of clay is essentially a reversal of the natural weathering process of rocks. Millennia ago, potters invented simple pyrotechnologies to recombine the chemical compounds once separated by weathering in order to obtain what is more or less a rock-like product shaped and decorated according to need and preference. Whereas Nature reconsolidates clays by long-term diagenetic or metamorphic transformation processes, potters exploit a ‘short-cut’ of these processes that affects the state of equilibrium of the system being transformed thermally. This ‘short-cut’ is thought to be akin to the development of mineral-reaction textures resulting from disequilibria established during rapidly heated pyrometamorphic events (Grapes, 2006) involving contact aureoles or reactions with xenoliths. In contrast to most naturally consolidated clays, the solidified rock-like ceramic material inherits non-equilibrium and statistical states best described as ‘frozen-in’. The more or less high temperatures applied to clays during ceramic firing result in a distinct state of sintering that is dependent on the firing temperature, the duration of firing, the firing atmosphere, and the composition and grain-size distribution of the clay.

    Overglaze: Challenging the Myths Johanna Demaine discusses the art and technique of overglazing HERE IS PROSE AND THERE IS POETRY. In pottery there “ seems to remain a possibility for providing both, some- Ttimes in the same object. Pottery can be about design or about art, and occasionally both. Pots succeed because they move the spirit, like art, or they exactly fill a requirement, like design. That one discipline can straddle both areas with dual emphasis is distinctive.” (Dormer: 1994, p.7) For reasons best known to ceramists themselves, the realm of overglaze has been neglected or, even at its extreme, derided as a valid means of expression/decoration for the craft/artist potter. In Margaret Ford. Ceramic. the past, as ceramists have been concerned with the approach fostered by the Overglaze enamel. Arts and Crafts Movement together with the Leach tradition. Yet I believe we have neglected the technique of overglaze decoration as a valid and enduring element of the whole ceramic process, despite it being an integral part of the character of Oriental and Islamic ceramics for the past 1000 years, through the marriage of form and surface. This ignorance or perhaps fear of the process has seen overglaze unceremoniously dumped into the area known as china or porcelain painting and all the angst which that conjures up. I feel that this unfortunate terminology has contributed to the view that overglaze is not relevant to clay workers. CeramicsTECHNICAL No. 21 2005 19 However, as with all things in today’s fast changing society, the parameters within which ceramics operate, are in a state of flux.

    Early 19th to Mid 20th Century Ceramics in Texas Becky Shelton, TASN Training Fort Worth, July 18th 2015 Adapted from: Sandra and Johnney Pollan and John Clark Texas Archeological Stewardship Network 2006 Workshop Presentations Ceramics generally fall into two categories: High temperatures Low temperatures Vitreous Nonvitreous 1. Stoneware Earthenware 2. Porcelain 1. Creamware 2. Pearlware 3. Whiteware 4. Red earthenware OET Porcelain Compact and grainy in cross-section with glassy edges. Used all decorating techniques to make decorative as well as useful wares. England developed two kinds of porcelain – hard-paste and soft-paste. Soft-paste porcelain is fritted with crushed glass. Bone China, or bone ash porcelain (fritted with glass and animal bone ash), became the standard English porcelain body throughout the 19th Century. It is more translucent than hard-paste porcelain. Its broken edges will discolor, and the overglaze decoration often wears away with use. Soft-paste porcelain: very Bone China: ivory, white, vitreous vitreous Earthenware • Fired at low temperatures • Coarse, porous clay bodies • Non-vitreous; require interior surface coating to prevent leakage • Opaque body; transmits no light • Includes “red wares, yellow wares, and white wares” Earthenware-Red • Coarse, porous body that is fragile and must be glazed to prevent leakage. • Pinkish buff to red to brown body • Wheel-thrown and drape-molded most common • Pre-1830: bulbous, ovoid shapes • Post-1830: Straight-sided cylindrical vessels • Decor: Slip-trailing, Manganese glaze, and simple Lead glaze Earthenware-Red, cont.

  • Tang Dynasty Changsha Ceramics
    144 Tang Dynasty Changsha Ceramics Liu Yang In the field of Chinese ceramics, the Belitung shipwreck is remarkable for greatly expanding our knowledge of a specific type of work: the Changsha ware produced during the late Tang period (left). The works astound both in their stunning quality and sheer quantity, comprising approximately 57,500 pieces, nearly 95 percent of which were made at kilns in the Changsha vicinity. While Changsha bowls dominated the cargo (some 55,000 pieces), there were many other Changsha ceramics in various forms (some 2,500 pieces). These works not only shed light on the manufacture and workmanship of Changsha ceramics, they also provide invaluable new data relevant to the art and literary history, religious beliefs, and customs of the times. The Flourishing and Decline of the Changsha Ceramic Industry Until field surveys were carried out in the twentieth century, Yuezhou, at the northeast corner of Dongting Lake, was considered the main center of ceramic production in Hunan during the Tang dynasty. This may have been true in the eighth century, but by the early ninth century Yuezhou kilns had begun to decline. Kilns in the Changsha vicinity, at the southern side of Dongting Lake, were developing fast, and ultimately superseded Yuezhou as the most advanced and prolific group of kilns in the area. Field surveys and typological analysis suggest that, in certain respects, Changsha ware evolved from Yuezhou ware. The Changsha kilns began production by imitating Yuezhou green-tinged glazed wares, for which the city had been known since long before the Tang dynasty. Yuezhou’s products, however, could not vie with the Yue ware made in Zhejiang province during the Tang era, such as the highly esteemed Yue bowls for tea-drinking.

    THE HANDBOOK OF GLAZE RECIPES: GLAZES AND CLAY BODIES PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Linda Bloomfield | 144 pages | 03 Jul 2014 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781408183687 | English | London, United Kingdom The Handbook of Glaze Recipes: Glazes and Clay Bodies PDF Book An elegant explanation of Western Raku, saggar, pit, and barrel firing techniques. The author is a leading expert on materials technology and offers his years of experience as a ceramics consultant. The sand gives it a rough texture while throwing and trimming. Like clay, all glaze materials come from the earth. A lovely book to learn from as well as study aesthetics. Another in their continuing series of books featuring the best articles from Ceramics Monthly within each given subject. Anyone who loves creating ceramics knows that glazing can be a labor of great love or the bane of the entire ceramic process. Incredibly detailed and informative. Oxides and commercial stains are used as pigmentation in glaze bodies, although colour can also be achieved through the use of slips, underglazes paints and pencils as well as in over-glaze paints and decals.
