Iro-e Jiki (色絵磁器)
Polychrome enamels hand-painted over a colorless glaze. Overglaze enamels are also used on stonewares, but iro-e jiki, or "colored painting porcelain," refers specifically to overglaze enamels on porcelain (Wilson 1995:114–15,139–42). These wares are commonly fired at temperatures between 700 and 850 degrees Celsius (Crueger et. al 2006:288). Iro-e jiki enjoyed great popularity, particularly on export markets, during the Meiji and Taisho eras (Costello et al. 2001:35).
