From the series of cricketers known as ‘Arlott’s Immortals’. The figure was modelled in plaster of Paris and then made in bone china in de Aquino’s Studio. D’Aquino said that the secret of obtaining stability in the kiln was to add a percentage of dental porcelain. The figure is first biscuit fired to 1250 C then polished and sprayed with clear glaze on the hot biscuit to obtain a very thin coat of glaze, then fired to 1140 C. The on-glaze decoration is next. Each colour is built up coat by coat and each coat has to be fired on separately, first at 820 C and subsequently at 740 C
