Glaze over underglaze
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

I have used black underglaze with the brush dipped in a little water to paint stamped letters on leather hard pieces, before bisque fire. When using a sponge to clean the edges I have found that if I applied too much pressure I had to touch up some letters.
I then used celadon based glazes to see the underglaze through. I have found that 2 dips of Blue celadon, or bright clear, or
spruce green work really well. Royal blue worked OK but I found it really dark and hard to see the black under glaze of the letters so I would suggest one dip.
