Translation of "Engobe" in German

Decorations with engobe are applied on the leatherhard clay body (pot).

Provided with an earth-coloured engobe, they fit particularly hamoniously in existing roofscapes.

This high medieval pot was made of beige clay and colored with engobe in germany.

The application of engobe in the back of the tile avoids the contamination caused by the direct contact between tiles and ceramic rollers of the kiln during the firing process.

The artist scratched sometimes only a preliminary outline on the dry surface of the engobe, later painting over it.

The enamels are applied in a wet process, wherein an aqueous slurry or suspension (engobe) of the finely ground glass powder (frit) is generally applied to the metal surface (for example by dipping or spray application), dried and then melted at the abovementioned temperatures.

The temperature stability can—purely optionally—furthermore be increased if the pigment/frit mixture according to the invention is employed on an engobe which has previously been applied to the workpiece (body).

The use of the engobe increases the use temperature further by 40-80 K, for example from 1120-1160° C. to 1180-1200° C.

The engobe comprises a frit for the firing range 600-1200° C. and one or more pearlescent pigments.

The majority of the painted vessels were decorated with red stripes (in various shades) on a white-yellowish slip (called engobe), or applied directly on the ceramic clay.

Both the stable and the figures are stylized to the extreme and painted uniformly white, a kind of engobe (an earthy coating used in ceramics), and decorated with green and red, sometimes black brushstrokes.

Greyhound ladies and charmers wear it in the atelier Hinrich Kröger ‘Old Fashionable Haute Couture’, painted on faience, engobe, clay and porcelain, exhibited in Berlin and New York City.

A thin mineral “engobe” or non-vitreous enamel layer is applied to ceramic surfaces by dipping, rolling, spraying or brushing.

The glaze, featuring at times the crackle pattern or the oxidized and fire-licked surface treatment, never becomes an effect or an end in itself: opaque or transparent, matte or glossy, thick or thin-layered, engobe-undercoated or colored, the glaze always serves the form.

DE 198 59 420 A1 discloses modified engobes having a pearlescent effect.

Engobes are used in furnace engineering to protect ceramic surfaces from mechanical or corrosive attack.

Furthermore, chromatic clay washes (engobes) can be used as coloring coats on clay ceramic materials.

In the unfired, still leather-hard state, the cylinder vases are painted with engobes (viscous clay slurry).

In their unfired, still moist state, the cylinder vases are decorated with engobes (thick clay slurry).

A colored pigment comprising a platelet shaped substrate coated with a colored metal oxide or hydroxide in its maximum oxidation state, wherein said pigment contains at least about 10% by weight of aluminum oxide and is free of alkaline earth metal oxides, whereby said pigment has increased stability in engobes, glazes and enamels compared to conventional pigments.

The invention relates to glaze-stable colored pigments based on platelet-type substrates coated with metal oxides which are stable in decorative colors engobes, glazes and enamels.

Accordingly, the invention relates to colored pigments having an improved stability in decorative colors, engobes, glazes and enamels, based on platelet-type substrates coated with metal oxides, characterized in that the outer coating is essentially free from alkaline earth metal oxides and contains a colored metal oxide or metal hydroxide and at least about 10% by weight of aluminum oxide.

Engobes and glazes are used from 900°C onwards and metal dye salts can be used variably (from 700°C onwards).

The coating of earthenware and ceramicware in order to improve (prime) the surface through fineness or colour is usually carried out using engobes.

Engobes are mixtures which may comprise molten ceramic frits, ceramic raw materials or minerals, glass or crockery porcelain powder and/or inorganic opacifiers.

These engobes can be applied in ground form as aqueous suspensions (slips) to ceramic substrates in order to mask the hue of the substrate and to improve processing of the subsequent coatings or layers, without at the same time adversely affecting the adhesion or surface quality of the finished product.
