Cobalt painting

China blue was spent as ceramic glazing for a long time, much earlier they used it in Persia for decorating pottery. In the beginning in Europe Cobalt was used for painting under the glaze. Today same effect is gettable with in-glaze colour by painting over glaze. The specific of the cobalt paint is the extreme colour depth which lies far beyond the colour space of photographic reproduction methods. Porcelain painters use this colour depth especially for the background, framing, ribbons or graphical patterns.

Kobaltblau wird in China schon zur Zeit der Tang-Dynastie in keramischen Glasuren verwendet, in Persien bereits einige Jahrhunderte früher zur Dekoration von Tonwaren. Die Wiederentdeckung erfolgte 1777 durch Gahn und Wenzel im sächsischen Freiberg. <P>Das besondere an diesem Pigment ist seine extrem tiefe Farbe, welche weit außerhalb des Farbraums fototechnischer Reproduktionsmöglichkeiten liegen.<BR></P>
