Techniques Used

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).

Gold decoration

Gold decoration is a technique where decorations using gold pigment and gold leaf are applied onto a plain unglazed base or glazed surface of a vessel and are fired onto the vessel in a kiln. The gold decorations are fired at a temperature lower than the firing of the underglaze decorations, and the surface is polished to create a glossy finish.
