Abstract
A glass ceramic article is decorated with ceramic paints in a screen printing process in accordance with which two, mutually corresponding grate-shaped structural elements are arranged on the surface of the glass ceramic article to form a closed, full-surface decorative coating so that the surface beneath it is not visible. The first structural element consists of ceramic paint members covering respective separate parts of the surface with intermediate spaces between them, while the second grate-shaped structural element consists of other ceramic paint members covering the intermediate spaces between the ceramic paint members of the first structural element but only at most overlapping edges of the ceramic paint members of the first structural element without covering them. The closed full-surface decorative coating can have a two-color pattern, such as a black and white pattern.
