overglaze
Ceramic color layer
Overglaze refers to decoration applied on top of an already-glazed ceramic surface, then fired again at a lower temperature.
The technique allows for detailed, colorful designs that sit above rather than within the glaze: The overglaze enamel work shows remarkable precision.
As an adjective, it describes this type of decoration: overglaze painting.
As a verb, to overglaze is to apply such decoration.
