Abstract

A method of making a ceramic article is disclosed. The method comprises forming a glazed ceramic article, etching selected areas of the surface of the article by laser etching and applying a material to at least some of the etched areas. The material applied to the article may be metal, wherein the metal may be gold leaf.

Description

Patterning The present disclosure relates to a method of decorating an object, and to an object produced using the method. Embodiments relate to forming patterns in the surface of a glazed ceramic article In the prior art an article was formed and glaze applied. Then an acid etching technology was used to pattern the article. A pattern was applied as a stencil', and the remainder of the piece was masked out' by applying a suitable material, for example a bitunien medium. The whole artide was then submerged into hydrocfloric acid until the desired depth of edge was achieved. The etched areas are then typically enhance by the gilding/painting application of liquid precious metals, the liquid metal is then burnished after firing, the non etched surfaces being polished' as opposed to the etched surface which remains dull' e.g. Platinum or Gold. Following this the article is fired.
This technique is still used by leading luxury factories on the continent.
It is however expensive and also uses undesirable materials.
The disclosed technique seeks to avoid at least some of these disadvantages There is disclosed a method of making a ceramic article comprising forming a glazed ceramic article, etching selected areas of the surface of the article by laser etching and applying a material to at least some of the etched areas.
There is also disclosed a ceramic article having a surface that has been patterned by laser etching, a material being disposed in at least some of the etched areas.
There is also disclosed a method of patterning a ghzed ceramic article, comprising eroding selected areas of the surface of the article by a non-chemical etching process and app'ying a metifi to at least sonic of the eroded areas. The material may be a metal.
The metal may be gold leaf The article may be fired after the material is applied. The fired article may be burnished.
In an embodiment the technique used consists of etching into the surface of a completed but unfired glazed ceramic article. In one embodiment a laser etching machine is used.
Other non-chemical eroding techniques will occur to the skilled person, for example water jetting may be used to pattern the surface.
After the surface of the article has been patterned to the desired depth, metal or other material is disposed in or over the patterned area. In one embodiment, the material is gold leaf or similar. This process is called gilding.
Following this the article is fired.
The liquid metal may then be burnished after firing as in the traditional acid etched method so that the recessed surfaces remain dull and the non-etched areas are polished.
