He would have used underglazes. Then he would have fired it and when cool dunked it in water. That would have shown him if there were any imperfections. If not he would have painted on the clear glaze and fired it the last time. If I had a small kiln I would have done his wonderful method. Instead I did a whole lot of work and ended up with a less than perfect mug for which I charged half of what I would have if it had turned out better.
