Die Glas-, Porzellan- und Email-Malerei in ihrem ganzen Umfang

A detailed guide to creating all types of glass, porcelain, and enamel painting. Illustrated with 18 black-and-white images. Glass painting holds a special place in the art of painting, as no other medium can display such high color brilliance and significant brightness contrasts as a transparent glass image. The range of contrast and color brilliance is even greater than that of a slide compared to a paper photograph. The vibrant colors create a mystical to celebratory atmosphere, which is why it is predominantly used in sacred contexts. Porcelain painters, glass, and ceramic painters decorate porcelain and ceramic products, as well as flat glass and hollow glass. The designs are applied using manual or semi-mechanized methods and are fired in a kiln. The porcelain pieces to be decorated are adorned by the porcelain painter with border, line, and ribbon designs, as well as various fonts.
