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).

Buzan Fukushima

In my style, on Kutani ware hakuji (white porcelain) I use red pigment (main ingredient: red oxide) and gold to apply overglaze enamel painting; by repeating firing several times, I create finely detailed akae (red painting).
