Hand Painted Glazed Ceramic Tiles
On these tiles the decoration is built from glaze rather than surface paint. The glaze pools inside the raised outline and deepens where it is thickest, which is what gives the finished tile its liquid colour.
More than four hundred glaze colours are mixed in the workshop from six base glazes, so a colour reference can usually be matched without introducing a different material.
