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 proprietor and manager of the
factory of Saint Amand-les-Eaux, and wrote several books on ceramic
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. 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
