About the Artwork
In the front I painted a speckled camellia using red and white overglaze enamel and the leaves using white overglaze enamel. Going around to the back of the jar, the leaves turn gray. I tried to express the flow of time from day to night.
I separated the elements of the flowers and leaves, and rearranged them as "a camellia one day" to express what I felt through a flower.

Techniques Used
Iron underglaze
Iron underglaze decorations (tetsu-e) are achieved by painting designs in a pigment containing iron oxide. The piece is then coated with a transparent glaze and fired at a high temperature. This basic method of ceramic underglaze decoration relies on the color changes displayed by iron oxide when it is exposed to heat.
Overglaze enamel
Overglaze enamel decorations (iro-e, literally “colored pictures”) are achieved by applying designs to the surface of already glazed and fired porcelain. The decorations are painted over the glaze, and the piece is fired again at a low temperature of approximately 800℃. The pigments used in traditional overglaze decorations are known as wa enogu (“Japanese paints”) and offer a palette of colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. Overglaze enameling may also be done with Western pigments (yō enogu).
