The mineral colors are mixed with slip, generally containing glaze and sharing elements with the body. The pointer uses a special brush . The colored workings put in to the 850 - 950 C degreed fire again after brightness with quartz, glaze and sodium carbonate. This step has risks because if the heat is too low, the glaze will not convert, the ware will shine. If the heat is too high, the colors run, smudging the design if the kiln cools too quickly, the glaze will crack. 

It must be done patiently & slowly.

It's a technology so complex that it entails much loss But after all these steps a real art is being completed.

Each of them is prepared, made and decorated with total care and dedication and by hand, minor variations in shape and size add individual style to our products.
