Excerpt from How Common Things Are MadeThis is the way in which plain cups are made, and the process is nearly the same for common plates, saucers, and basins. But those which are ornamented in any way give much more trouble. As a rule ornamented objects are moulded in pieces, and afterwards stuck together by slip, as the handles are made and fastened on to the cup. They may have to be baked in the oven, not once only, but many times. So, too, those which are painted or gilded have to be baked many times, because the colours or the gold are put on as a liquid, like the glaze, and are fixed by heating in the oven. These colours and gilt, as the painter puts them on, are not at all like what they will be when the article is burnt.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
