Descrizione
Ceramic painting is a conversation between pigment and fire. What you brush onto greenware is a promise; what returns from the kiln is the truth of the glaze chemistry. The Underglaze Atlas gives that conversation a vocabulary, twenty-four colors that fire true, mix predictably, and hold their character through the heat of the kiln.
Each color in the set is formulated as an underglaze, designed to be painted onto bisque or greenware and fired beneath a clear glaze, where the pigment gains depth and permanence. The palette spans the full spectrum, from earth tones that anchor a piece to bright accents that make it sing. The colors are designed to be mixed, so a maker who masters the set can reach nearly any shade by blending rather than buying more jars.
For the studio, consistency is the quiet luxury. These pigments apply evenly, do not settle into muddy patches, and survive the firing without the color shifts that plague bargain glazes. Jingdezhen, the source of this palette, has been the center of Chinese ceramic painting for centuries, and the formulation reflects that lineage in the way the colors sit and fire.
Beginners find the set forgiving, which matters more than it sounds. Mistakes can be wiped back before firing, colors layer predictably, and the included range covers the classic palette that most projects need. Experienced potters use it for detailed brushwork, sgraffito, and layered compositions where control at the brush tip decides the outcome. Either way, the atlas of twenty-four colors is a complete start to a shelf of work.
Fire keeps its promises to those who learn its language.

Application Scenarios
The Underglaze Atlas serves every level of the ceramics studio. Beginners painting their first mugs and bowls reach for the set because the range covers the classic palette without committing to dozens of single jars; teachers use it for classroom projects where every student needs the same colors; and production potters keep it on the bench for the accent details that finish a line of work. The colors suit brush painting, sponge texture, sgraffito, and layered compositions alike.
Beyond the wheel, the set finds a home in tile work, hand-built sculpture, and decorative ceramics for the home. A set of handmade tiles painted with coordinated underglazes becomes a kitchen backsplash with a personal story; a hand-built vase gains depth from layered washes; and children's pottery projects stay bright and safe through firing. For makers who sell their work, the predictable firing behavior means the color in the shop matches the color on the shelf, which is the trust that repeat customers are built on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What temperature do these underglazes fire to?
A: They are formulated for standard mid to high fire ranges typical of hobby and studio kilns. Fire a test tile to confirm the behavior in your specific clay and glaze.
Q: Can I use them on greenware?
A: Yes, they can be painted on both greenware and bisque. Paint on bisque is the more common route for detailed work.
Q: Do I need a clear glaze over them?
A: A clear glaze over the underglaze adds gloss, depth, and permanence. Some colors also work unglazed for a matte effect, depending on your clay body.
Q: Can the colors be mixed together?
A: Yes, the pigments blend to create custom shades, which extends the palette well beyond the twenty-four included colors.
Q: Are they food-safe after firing?
A: When covered with a food-safe clear glaze and properly fired, pieces can be used for food. Always confirm your full glaze system is food-safe.
Q: How do I store the jars?
A: Keep the lids sealed between uses and stir before painting, as pigments can settle during storage.
Q: Is this set good for children's classes?
A: Yes, the forgiving application and wide palette make it a classroom favorite, with adult supervision for firing.
