The Craft of Clay

Sticker application
Stickers are usually applied as ‘decoration’ on bone chinaware. This involves soaking the sticker in water for about fifteen seconds and then placing its peel on to the cup. This ‘sticking’ is obviously temporary, unless fired. Sticker firing is done only to fuse it with the clay body and is carried out at a much lower temperature. Any design created digitally on the computer can be printed as a sticker. Most of the big tea companies get these cups and saucers custom-made in Khurja for their free-gift-with-tea-box offers!
