Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the curious techniques of a historical method of decoration. Beginning in the Middle Ages, artisans discovered that reductions in the atmosphere of their kilns would cause iridescent metallic deposits to form on their ceramic glazes. Referred to as "Metallic Lusters" by the author, these beautiful and intricate decorative effects were rediscovered in the 19th Century. The author provides historical context and alchemical recipes used to create these effects and traces the development of the decorative technique, popularized during the Renaissance and utilized by such masters as Giorgio Andreoli.
