Summary "Pottery Decoration Under the Glaze" by M. Louise McLaughlin is a comprehensive guide on the techniques and principles of under-glaze pottery decoration, written in the late 19th century. This book serves as both a practical manual and a scholarly exploration aimed at those interested in the decorative arts, particularly ceramics. The author shares her insights gained from over two years of experimentation, focusing on the methods that can enhance the beauty and durability of pottery through under-glaze decoration. In her work, McLaughlin emphasizes the importance of proper preparation, the selection of suitable clays, and the various techniques used to achieve successful decoration. She discusses the chemistry of pottery materials, the impact of firing conditions on color retention, and the crucial differences between under-glaze and over-glaze techniques. Throughout the chapters, she details the processes of mixing colors, painting, and firing, while also providing practical advice for both novices and more experienced potters. With a focus on artistic integrity and the foundational skills necessary for successful pottery decoration, McLaughlin's book serves as valuable guidance for anyone looking to delve into the art of pottery during this vibrant period of ceramics history.
