"Hi, I am Nipa Banerjee from Art Space India, talking on behalf of Expert Village. After biscuiting the glazing part for color, normally we use oxide and for glazing we use fret, china clay and some other materials, also with oxide. There are so many colors and so many types of glazes. In this vase, we haven't done anything special. This is white body and in this white body what we have given, we have given only manganese and black color and we just pour the color and roll it very slowly. The color has gone here and there and it has given this effect. This is the glazed portion, only. Color of this is brown, light brown and dark brown. First, we have given the light brown effect here and deep brown has been given on the upper portion of the flower vase. The total shade effect has come. And there is one more flower vase for decoration only. What we have done, we glazed in two, three shades. Light green, light brown; all this mixed color has given a very nice effect. For green glaze, what we do is we give copper oxide, we give barium carbonate and china clay, feltsper, quartz, etc. Now, I have shown you enough designs and you can make on your own, also, Thank you."
