Directly on the biscuit the hand painting is done. Each item is entirely hand painted with very fine brushes by professional painters.

To obtain the famous Delft blue color, the painter will use a black paint which will eventually change into the famous color blue during the second firing.

The colors on the Delft polychrome will intensify during the firing but will not change into color.

Delft painters require a high craftsmanship which is developed during years of training and practice.

After the hand painting the items are completely covered with a white glaze either by dipping the items in a bath of glaze or by spraying.
