Decoration

After the first firing follows glazing. Immersing or sprying with a spraying pistol applies the glaze, consisting of kaolin, quartz and feldspat.

During the glaze firing at 1080°C, the glaze fuses with the ceramic shell of the figurine. The initially blue glaze becomes white during the firing (for controll purposes). All colour pigments are burned out.

Now the figurine ca be painted.

To give life to the pale, white figurines, the skilled painters use hand-made brushes with the finest hair and bristles.
