Hello everyone!

I did a carving on a piece, and I’m going to decorate with underglaze (on the surface & in the lines). I need to use a glaze over it because it is a coffee pour-over and will be in contact with water/coffee.

Some thoughts about the best way to do this are:

a) lightly sponge on bright clear in the section with the carving, wax resist, then dip the rest in whatever glaze I choose (worried this might look bad, like a white patch on the pot, and painting wax over glaze isn’t fun)

b) use the celadon glaze, which I’ve read is good at letting through color/detail

Does anyone have any experience using celadon over carving/painting? Any example photos to share? Appreciate your thoughts
