BLURRED COLORS.

ca: COLORS BURROSOS.

es: COLORES BORROSOS.

Blurred colors occur when they bleed and spread into the glaze or into each other, something that can be either considered a fault or used as a decoration. It happens with many colors and depends greatly on the absorbability of the glaze that the colors are mixed with. In the Majolica method it can be caused by decorating while the base is still too damp.
