Well , why not? The plate was bisque fired already. I am reading contradicting advises on internet about whether underglaze shall be applied on green ware or bisque ware. The application experience is definitely different. I had done both and honestly on a plate I dont see any problem or difference. I usually use speedball…
This time I want to put my own cartoonic characters on a mug. I am never sure cat, mouse and dog hate each other or not? I think they are overly stereotyped on TV shows that I grew up watching. Now on internet there are so many videos of them being friends with each other….

I made the scales pointy to distinguish them from those of fish and snakes. If I were to make them again, I’d try larger scales with a slightly different overlapping…
I asked a fellow potter which animated character he’d recognize on a pot without a doubt. His answer? Goku. So of course, I had to try! Painting with underglaze on bisqueware is a whole new vibe—nothing like paper, but so much fun!
After retiring Mark 1, I went on to make Mark 2—smaller, cuter, and a bit more refined. 🦾☕ Which Iron Man suit I based it on? Honestly, I can’t remember. I spent hours hunting for clips of Iron Man’s boot online… and it was nearly impossible to find! I guess the boot is not very…
