Description

It takes special talent and workmanship to hand-paint ceramics, and it's an ancient craft that is slowly fading away. Not many people learn it anymore. 

The process can be intricate, as evidenced in this delicately-painted handmade ceramic teacup.

First, the clay arrives in large tubes and is then machine-cut into smaller pieces. These pieces are molded using a mold called "biscuit". Then the formed pieces undergo firing in a kiln at 1050 degrees for 9-10 hours, followed by a day of drying. Once dried, they are meticulously sponged by hand to achieve a smooth surface. After another day of drying, each piece is carefully hand-painted and glazed. They are then fired again in a kiln, this time at 1030 degrees for 9 hours. This process can be done several times, depending on the design.

Finally, a logo is stamped onto the finished product, which then undergoes quality control checks before being packed for distribution.
