Anyone able to give a date estimate on this dishware, or whether or not it is likely to be safe to use? (Concerned about lead/cadmium paint or other harmful components)

Thanks!

Cao,
Interesuje me oprema i proces izrade mozaika.
Ono sto sam gledao i sto mi se svidja jeste keramicki mozaik. U vezi sa tim imam par pitanja:
\- gde se nabavljaju plocice, secice, ona velika sprava za rezanje? Ima masa tih stvari na netu, zato pitam za preporuku?
\- na sta se lepi i koji se lepak koristi?
\- ako zelimo da uramimo, da li onda ide neka drvena podloga i koja?
\- da li je potrebna neka specijalna fuga?

Kao pocetniku, svaka informacija bi znacila.

I know they’re Japanese but I’d love to know what era, the maker and or purpose of these little cups. At first I thought tea but they’re pretty small, possible for sake?

I used the shell pink design colours underglaze by walker ceramics, and this was the result I got when fired to stoneware.

I applied a stoneware gloss on top.

Why did this happen? Would this happen if I applied an earthenware glaze?

Any advice?

As much as I hate 3D printed dragons, I do kinda like the idea of them, just not how they’re all basically the same uniform thing. So this is my first (and messy) attempt of a moving dragon sculpture, it all went mostly smoothly, but for my next one I’m testing out metal for the joints instead of making the rings by hand. I also plan to try to make smaller ones as well.

My plan for glazing is to use underglazes, and to maybe clear glaze over them in certain places that I can.

My partner and I visited a local coffee shop/ceramics workshop today. They had a bunch of pre-made designs and shapes but I wanted something a little more unique. Wasn’t sure what to do at first, but I saw some blue and white porcelain motifs on the demo pieces and wanted to give it a go. They helped me water down the blue glaze and I used a slightly darker shade for the details. Just wanted to share because I was pleasantly surprised by the result. Any advice on technique or design is appreciated! I used a small regular paintbrush for most of the color and a squeeze bottle with a needle applicator for the details. Will update when it’s been fired!
