Pâte-sur-pâte is a French term which means "paste on paste". It is a method of porcelain decoration in which a relief design is created on an unfired, unglazed body by applying successive layers of white slip (liquid clay) with a brush. The development of pâte-sur-pâte dates back to 1850 in France, at the Sevres factory.
