Hi @harmony,

Glazed ceramic pots can definitely be tricky to paint — they're a bit like painted glass in terms of difficulty. The surface is very smooth and not naturally receptive to new coatings. I'd recommend doing a test patch first using something like Flood ESP (Easy Surface Prep), which you can find in a 500ml bottle. It's designed to help paint stick to glossy, hard-to-coat surfaces. After prepping with ESP, you should be able to use a standard paint over the glaze.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
