Original Recipe Text
Raised black/brown glazes were used to outline motifs and separate different colored glazes (p. 139).
Evidence
"The motifs were outlined with raised black/brown glazes to separate various glazed colors from each other."
Remarks
These thin, black lines prevent the intermingling of the glazes and enable craftsmen to apply more detailed and elaborate motifs, including mythical creatures at Susa (p. 148). Black glaze separates different colors at both Susa and Persepolis (p. 143).
