Abstract
A pattern is provided in a glaze composition by a series of steps which includes patterning an at least partially cured fusible enameling composition by restructuring it through the removal of material therefrom, refiring the contoured restructure of the enameling composition, and then placing an uncured glaze composition onto the restructured, refined enameling composition. The glaze composition is placed in contact with the pattern in the enameling composition. The glaze composition is then cured. The cured glaze composition and enameling composition are then separated from each other to thereby provide the desired pattern in the glaze composition, without the cost, lack of convertability, and steps of stamping or forming metal to mirror the desired pattern. Also provided is the process for producing the pattern in the fusible enameling composition.
