After painting, craftsmen glaze & fire wares at the same time. They create unique transparency, softness & countless numbers of different hues, though perhaps not so delicate & vivid as overglaze painting. Needless to say, it is safe from lead-melting. Both wheel thrown pottery & underglaze painting are their specialties.
