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