Techniques Used

Blue underglaze

Blue and white porcelain (sometsuke) is made by painting blue underglaze decorations on white bisque-fired pottery using a cobalt-rich pigment known as zaffer (gosu). The piece is then coated with a transparent glaze and fired. This technique for making blue and white porcelain has been used in China since around the twelfth century during the Yuan Dynasty.

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.
