Story of Porcelain (English-Chinese Edition): How Ancient Chinese Porcelain Was Made, Step by Step

From Clay and Kilns to Glaze, Blue-and-White Porcelain & Firing — An Illustrated Guide to the Ancient Chinese Craft That Turned Earth into Porcelain
This illustrated book shows you how ancient Chinese porcelain was made—from the clay and the kiln to the finished piece. It starts with pottery, the predecessor of porcelain, then walks through each step: preparing the clay, shaping the vessel on a wheel, drying it, applying glaze, and firing it in the kiln. It also introduces blue-and-white porcelain and the under-glaze decorations that made Chinese ceramics famous around the world. The pictures carry most of the explanation, so you can follow the process even without any background in craft or technology. If you want to understand how Chinese porcelain was actually made and what makes it special—rather than read an academic history of ceramic technology or try to make porcelain yourself—this is it.
