Techniques Used
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.
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.
