The three main glazing techniques for ceramic vases are underglaze, overglaze, and inlay glazing. The core difference among these techniques lies in the application position of the glaze layer, which directly influences the product's texture, safety, and durability, thereby making them suitable for various applications.
In the production of underglaze enamel, artists first paint the unglazed body, then apply the glaze and fire it at high temperatures. The glaze layer completely covers the colors, creating delicate and translucent patterns with a smooth, even surface free of protrusions. This product is highly durable, resistant to wear, and fade-resistant, containing no harmful substances like lead or cadmium, ensuring excellent safety. Blue-and-white porcelain, a quintessential example of underglaze enamel, is both practical for daily use and ideal for long-term preservation.
To craft an overglaze enamel vase, artisans first apply glaze to a plain body and fire it, then paint intricate designs on the glaze surface before curing the colors at low temperatures. The result features vibrant hues, well-defined patterns, and flexible craftsmanship that effortlessly creates complex designs. However, the vase's surface may not be perfectly smooth and is prone to wear and fading. For long-term use, it's essential to choose certified products, making it ideal for decorative vases that prioritize aesthetic appeal.
Glaze underglaze painting is a hybrid technique that involves applying a base glaze, painting over it, and then undergoing high-temperature treatment. This process allows the paint to penetrate the glaze's intermediate layer, combining the smooth texture of underglaze decoration with the vibrant colors of overglaze painting. It perfectly merges the strengths of both techniques, offering moderate wear resistance and high safety, making it ideal for most home decoration projects.
