About Firing Ceramic Ware
Firing onglaze transfers onto fine bone china is a specialized decoration process that occurs after the glaze firing, using a relatively low-temperature firing to fuse the printed or painted design onto the already-glossy glazed surface.
how Firing can change the colours
Color matching: Some pigments change slightly during firing, so testing is often needed.
Gold/platinum/silver transfers: Require even more controlled firing, as these are delicate and prone to discoloration.
Firing atmosphere: An oxidizing environment is preferred to maintain color integrity.
