John,
This Hispanic Society of America published a series of articles on Mexican
Majolica and their technology from about 1900 through the 1930s. I seem to
recall a breakdown of how to stack the kilns with clay segars (spacers that
leave marks on the glaze) and other objects. I recommend you look for those
publications. As of ten years ago, they still had back issues available for sale.
Also, Robert Lister published a number of articles on Spanish Majolica that
included discussion of kiln furniture. I am less certain on kiln furniture,
but John Goggin published a number of articles on Majolica that might be
relevant. Finally, if you read Spanish, Enrique Cervantes authored two limited
edition books (with paste-in photos) on the entire industry in Puebla, Mexico and
I also seem to recall discussion of kiln furniture.
