Bastenaire-Daudenart, F. "L'Art de Fabriquer la Porcelaine, suive d'un
Vocabulaire des Mots techniques et d'un traite de la Peinture et Dorure sur
Porcelaine"
Paris; a la Librairie Scientifique et Industrielle de Malher et Cie.: 1827.
A study of the manufacture of porcelain, as well as painting and gilding
porcelain, as it stood in the first decades of the 19th century, with an
extensive glossary. Daudenart was the longtime proprietor and manager of
the factory of Saint Amand-les-Eaux, and wrote several books on the
techniques of porcelain and pottery manufacture. Solon spends most of his
lengthy entry on this title complaining that, although Daudenart was well
trained in the almost-obsolete technique of making soft-paste "fritted"
body china, he chose to write a book about the manufacture of hard-paste
porcelain instead. Sometimes Solon was very difficult to please. Branner.
2 volumes. Hardcover. 4.25"x7", xviii + 403 + 443 pages, plus 4 folding
engraved plates; bound in old boards with new leather spines with red
labels and gilt titles; a little internal toning and soil, plate edges a
bit soiled and tatty, but overall a nice set. [08283] $650.00
