Process Principle
During production, delicate openwork patterns are hand-carved onto the surface of a wet ceramic blank. Then, a specially formulated openwork glaze is used to completely fill these openings, followed by decoration with blue-and-white or polychrome painting. The piece is then fired at high temperature in a kiln in a single firing process. During firing, the glaze melts and fully seals the carved holes, resulting in a classic visual effect that allows light to pass through while remaining opaque, creating a semi-hidden, semi-revealed appearance—this is also the unique core technique of cloisonné porcelain.
