Nippon decorating technique is something called moriage ware. Moriage is the process where wet slipware is applied atop a piece of porcelain. This applied ornament is brushed on or applied in the same way that icing might by piped onto the surface of a cake. Moriage is highly textural and a time consuming process of ceramic decoration. Nippon artists also enhanced their pieces by putting a pieces of textile onto the wet porcelains before it is fired in the kiln. After the firing process which burns away the actual textile, the surface of the porcelain object would retain the pattern of the textile.
