Gold/silver decorations
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.
Shoji Ishihara
Expression by overglaze enamels on ceramics is characteristic of my works. In this technique, porcelain clay is first formed, and after second-stage firing without applying glaze, patterns are drawn using overglaze enamels, overglaze gold and silver and then fired; this process is repeated many times to finish a work.
