Came whilst I was trying to work out a good way to arrange the sheets. I read Mike’s excellent piece in Ceramics Technical in which he made reference to using earthenware matt glaze to join his large pieces of porcelain. I realized I could use the same technique by making bone china separators and joining the sheets in the same way. All ceramic – no glue!

Would the sheets soften and bend? Theoretically not at 1100C but only the kiln would prove it:
Shows the carved holes
Shows the carved outer surface
Shows the light transmission through the centre
Shows the separators fixed with glaze
