The slip clays fire to a contrasting color or shade from that of the body. Slipware can be decorated by pouring, dipping, painting, daubing or trailing slips on to the unfired, or sometimes once-fired, body. After it is applied, the slip can be manipulated by twisting the piece, by combing or feathering the slip into more regular designs or, after drying to a tacky consistency, can be carved in the sgraffito technique. Dipping, trailing, and marbling are other common techniques used for slip-decorated ceramics. The application of slip almost always precedes glazing. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:26:45</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31321763</termId><termName>slip ware</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31306747</termId><termName>pottery</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>NT</relationType><termId>31346251</termId><termName>black-slipped ware</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>NT</relationType><termId>31485623</termId><termName>Werra ware</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31304097</termId><termName>sgraffito</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31340906</termId><termName>slip trailing</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31340912</termId><termName>pâte-sur-pâte</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
