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, Silver decoration

Gold and silver decorations consist of motifs rendered in gold and silver pigments or leaf. The decorations may be applied directly to the clay substrate or as an overglaze decoration that is fired onto the vessel. The gold and silver decorations are fired at lower temperatures than underglaze decorations, then polished to bring out their luster.
