Furthermore, this fine stoneware can be tinted in the bodyin the body. Unlike earlier products, the color was not applied to the surfacebut integrated into the body itself. The aesthetic principle liesthe contrast between the colored background and the bas-reliefs.
The technical difficulty is considerable: you have to master the compatibility of the pastes,mold the bas-reliefs and then apply them, avoid distortion during firingand prevent color migration between layers.
