That's funny - I never touched any clay before 2 years ago :lol: I don't think I hardly qualify as an expert! There are several "non-fired" decorative coatings that can be put on ceramics. Duncan makes a whole series of products, there are also some that are cured in a regular oven as well as acrylic or epoxy paints. You CAN put regular ceramic glaze on the bottom of a mug if you place in in the kiln on a stilt*, it will have 3 or 4 little pinmarks on it. I won't mention any names, but the guy who customized that mug is a really nice guy (I saw him Sunday) and he responds to PMs - you can always ask him :D
