Peonyceramics custom ceramic mugs feature the underglaze polychrome technique, a distinctive traditional ceramic decoration method known for its rich colors, strong decorative appeal, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Color Characteristics of Custom Underglaze Polychrome Ceramic Mugs
Artists use underglaze polychrome to apply a wide range of hues, going far beyond just five colors. Traditionally, it includes vivid black, grass green, ocean blue, and agate tones. Moreover, modern techniques have expanded the palette with even more vibrant variations.
Artists freely combine diverse underglaze polychrome colors to meet creative needs, enhancing the visual richness of custom ceramics.
The colors remain vibrant and never fade, as the underglaze technique covers the pigments with a layer of glaze, protecting them from external elements.
Craftsmanship Behind Underglaze Polychrome Ceramics
Artists paint directly on the raw ceramic body, requiring exceptional painting skills.
The mineral pigments used are specially formulated for high temperatures, allowing them to retain vibrant color even after high-temperature firing.
The finished bisque requires a coating of white transparent glaze or other light-colored surface glazes.
The final step involves a single high-temperature firing, where precise control of temperature and timing is essential throughout the process.
Artistic Features of Underglaze Polychrome
The glaze covers the pigments, creating a smooth and even surface with a bright, translucent effect.
It offers high resistance to acids, alkalis, and wear, making it safe and durable. This type of ceramic is therefore called green( Eco-Friendly)ceramics.
It suits both everyday tableware and decorative ceramics, thereby adding artistic value and practicality to the pieces.
Underglaze polychrome is a type of high-temperature porcelain, handcrafted and fired at 1380°C. It is light, thin, and translucent, with a smooth, jade-like texture and a resonant sound like a stone. Moreover, it displays a rich layering of shades and tones, with colors derived from nature and reflecting its beauty.
