Glaze Application

Once sun-dried, the karigars start painting on the product with ‘stains’ (ceramic colors, as they call it). These are usually applied as an under-glaze, and get fired to almost the same color as they are in powder form. A variety of patterns are painted, stenciled, sprayed on the ware. Once the stains are a bit dry, these pieces are dipped in clear glaze that would give them a glossy (glass) layer after firing. Sometimes, these are glazed plain white, without any stains, to be ‘decorated’ with stickers later.
