majolica and chinapainting -
There really isnt a direct correlation between majolica and china painting.. China painting is done over an already glazed piece . The work has previously been clear glazed to higher temps and the flux contained in the chinapaints creates a thin glassy layer when the piece is refired to the much lower overglaze temps which fuses the pigments to the glaze layer... ( as opposed to majolica where you are painting underglaze onto an unfired glaze layer...
For more information on overglaze processes, check Porcelain Painters INternational Onnline...[...]

Good try but no cigar - 
As a majolica enthusiast, I came to Lewing's book expecting to find a comparison with pigments for china painting with the standard Mason stains. I also sought receipts for clear glaze at cones from ^019 to ^016. In short, facts to work with. Instead we are presented a set of summaries of various aspects of the chemistry of ceramics available in more intelligible form elsewhere. There's little to enable a knowledgeable person to adapt skill and equipment for majolica and other surface painting to the norms of china painting. An expensive disappointment. Nice photos.
This is a benchmark book -
Paul REALLY knows his stuff. This is a great book covering so much territory, it's a mini history of an area of ceramics that has not been addressed in such a contemporary way. After years of research and work, he has created benchmark and a major reference, an example for others to use in this kind of research. It's a great resource not only for potters, but historians, china painters, antique dealers and collectors.
This is a luscious book and a generous one. Paul Lewing has written a very readable, comfortable narrative and the book is visually stunning. A huge amount of information is packed between the covers. He holds nothing back, giving everything he knows and he knows a lot. He not only is tackles the subject full-on from the origins and progression of china decoration through time and cultures, there's a complete data dump of technical aspects; tools, chemistry and technique.
The book is printed on heavy-duty slick (magazine-like) pages and is filled with beautiful color photographs. Makes ya want to run, RUN to your studio and start working! You may need two copies. One to keep pristine in your house and one to paw over in the studio!
