Abstract
In a method of applying a decoration to an object, at least one layer of enamel frit slip is applied to the object, after which, without curing this layer, a decoration based on enamel frit and mineral pigments is applied to localized areas of this layer in the form of a paste containing the enamel frit, the pigments and a binder that can be melted by application of heat or cross-linked by exposure to ultraviolet light. The paste is heated when it is applied to the enamel frit slip layer to melt the binder that can be melted by heat, after which the combination is cured to vitrify the enamel frit slip layer and the decoration.
