Pot′ter-y-print′ing.
(Pottery.) The device for the plate or other article is engraved on copper or otherwise, and an impression taken on a piece of unsized paper. This is wetted and placed over the plate, which is in the biscuit condition. The ink adheres to the plate when the paper is removed. Another plan is to take an impression in oil only, and then dust the color on to the plate, to which it only adheres in the parts covered with oil. The surface of the printed ware is covered with glaze, the ware placed in a saggar and burnt in a kiln.
