Overglaze

Overglaze is a decorative glaze with a low melting point. It is also called melt paint or enamel. Overglaze is used to decorate a high-fired piece. It is then fired one more time (at 750°C to 850°C) so that the new colours of the decoration are baked into the glaze that was already in place.
