2. Overglaze decoration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overglaze_decoration

   Overglaze decoration, overglaze enamelling, or on-glaze decoration, is a method of decorating pottery, most often porcelain, where the coloured decoration is applied on top of the already fired and glazed surface, and then fixed in a second firing at a relatively low temperature, often in a muffle kiln. It is often described as producing ...

3. Wood stain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_stain

   Wood stain is a type of paint used to colour wood comprising colourants dissolved and/or suspended in a vehicle or solvent. Pigments and/or dyes are largely used as colourants in most stains. The initial application of any paint or varnish is absorbed into the substrate similarly to stains, but the binder from a stain resides mainly below the ...

4. Frame and panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_and_panel

   Panels are made slightly smaller than the available space within the frame to provide room for movement. Wood will expand and contract across the grain, and a wide panel made of solid wood could change width by a half of an inch, warping the door frame. By allowing the wood panel to float, it can expand and contract without damaging the door.

5. Glaze (painting technique) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaze_(painting_technique)

   In oil painting, the simplest form of a glaze is a thin, oily, transparent layer of paint spread over the top of an opaque passage that has been given some time to dry. Light travels through the glaze and is reflected back off of the opaque layer below.

6. Tin-glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin-glazing

   Tin-glazing is the process of giving tin-glazed pottery items a ceramic glaze that is white, glossy and opaque, which is normally applied to red or buff earthenware. Tin-glaze is plain lead glaze with a small amount of tin oxide added. [1] The opacity and whiteness of tin glaze encourage its frequent decoration.

7. Ceramic glaze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_glaze

   Ceramic glaze, or simply glaze, is a glassy coating on ceramics. It is used for decoration, to ensure the item is impermeable to liquids and to minimize the adherence of pollutants. [1] Glazing renders earthenware impermeable to water, sealing the inherent porosity of earthenware. It also gives a tougher surface.

8. Tin-glazed pottery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin-glazed_pottery

   Maiolica charger from Faenza, after which faience is named, c. 1555; diameter 43 cm, tin-glazed earthenware Tin-glazed (majolica/maiolica) plate from Faenza, Italy. Tin-glazed pottery is earthenware covered in lead glaze with added tin oxide [1] which is white, shiny and opaque (see tin-glazing for the chemistry); usually this provides a background for brightly painted decoration.

9. Underglaze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underglaze

   Underglaze is a method of decorating pottery in which painted decoration is applied to the surface before it is covered with a transparent ceramic glaze and fired in a kiln. Because the glaze subsequently covers it, such decoration is completely durable, and it also allows the production of pottery with a surface that has a uniform sheen.
