After glazing and firing, the painted decoration appears beneath the glaze layer.<br /> <br /> In this method the potter or decorator applies pigments made from mineral oxides directly onto the clay body or onto a thin slip coating. Once the decoration is complete, a transparent or translucent glaze is applied over the surface. During firing the glaze melts and forms a glassy coating that seals and protects the painted design.<br /> <br /> Underglaze painting allows for precise and detailed decoration, including lines, patterns, and pictorial scenes. Because the decoration lies beneath the glaze, the surface remains smooth and durable.<br /> <br /> The technique has been widely used in Japanese ceramics, particularly in porcelain traditions. Blue-and-white decoration created with cobalt pigment is one of the most well-known forms of underglaze painting.<br /> <br /> Underglaze painting appears in several Japanese ceramic traditions, including [[Arita ware]], [[Imari ware]], [[Kutani ware]], and [[Kiyomizu ware]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Overglaze enameling]]<br /> * [[Mishima inlay]]<br /> * [[Slip trailing]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Artisanal techniques]]<br /> [[Category:Ceramics artisanal techniques]]</div>
