53 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 colour painter
Explanation: I only find one online reference for this term, in a book on Viennese Porcelain in the 18th C. - - please see the link below. The term for 'Blaumaler' is 'blue painter', so this would make sense. I also post a link to a porcelain painter certificate in which the term 'blue painter' is mentioned. ‘NEUWIRTH, WALTRAUD Österreich / Austria / Autrice. Wiener Porzellan / Viennese Porcelain / Porcelaine de Vienne. Malernummern, Bossiererbuchstaben und -nummern, Weissdreher- und Kapseldrehnummern 1744 - 1864. Österreich. Markenlexikon für Kunstgewerbe. Wien. Selbstverlag Dr. Waltraud Neuwirth. 1978. Original publisher's sewn paperback, pictorial frontcover, 24mo; 144pp. **index colour painters, index blue painters**, index gold polishers, index moulders, index moulders / turners, index white ware turners, index sagger turners, index stone cutters, index names. Text in German - French - English. Fine copy. Volume 4: Markenlexikon für Kunstgewerbe. ISBN: 3-900282-11-0.’ http://www.antiqbook.nl/boox/nij/26472.shtml ‘**Blue painters** decorate porcelain with the traditional blue porcelain colour before the porcelain is glazed..’ http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache:7b9xlY8NtaUJ:certsu...

Alternative suggestion: overglaze painter The difference between a ‘Buntmaler’ and a 'Blaumaler' is that the 'Buntmaler' paints on top of the glaze (overglaze), whereas the ‘Blaumaler’ paints before the plate is glazed (underglaze). The contemporary term for both seem to be 'overglaze painter' and 'underglaze painter' respectively. ‘Twice a year, in April and October, the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory invites the public to an Open Day on its working premises that runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in each case. Virtually the whole of the Manufactory can be accessed during this period. In the course of the Open Day, throwers, modellers, ‘repairers’ and both **underglaze and overglaze painters** demonstrate the art of making Meissen Porcelain® at their various places of work, offering visitors an insight into the rich variety of forms and patterns used in Meissen®.’ http://friedrich.meissen.com/index.php?id=314&lang=1&tx_ttne... ‘We want to thank Roger for giving us the opportunity to "spread the word" about our little-known art form: **overglaze painting** on china...commonly known as "china painting".’ http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/4164/porcelain.html ‘In 1672 he had all akae-ya (**overglaze painters**) move to one place, and this became known as Akae-machi. He restricted the number of akae-ya to a dozen or so, and made sure their techniques—everything from dye making to glaze preparation to picture ware **overglaze painting**—were passed in secret from one generation to the next.’ http://web-japan.org/nipponia/nipponia32/en/travel/travel01....

Another option (perhaps): overglaze colour painter I'm not too convinced myself, but I found a reference to an ‘underglaze blue painter’. And what's more, in the description of the plate is even mentioned a ‘red painter’. ‘Floral Plate with Imari Décor, porcelain, body w/ gilt and underglaze-blue edging, underglaze-blue blossoming boughs, iron-red, green, and gilt blossoms and foliage, sides and centre w/ underglaze-blue double rings, Ø 22,5 cm, rim min. scuffed, hanger, Vienna, Imperial Manufactory, underglaze-blue Austrian shield ca. 1765, **red painter** no. 20 Christian Kremser 1762-1787, **underglaze-blue painter** no. 8 Johann Hautzenberger 1754-1820, turner no. 8 Georg Clausner 1762-1785, (Ru).’ http://www.icollector.com/Floral-Plate-with-Imari-D-cor_i110...

Reference information: Quote from Savage and Newman's Dictionary of Ceramics: Over-painting in enamels on previously decorated decorated porcelain, first practised by Dutch decorators who used sparsely decorated porcelain, usually in blue underglaze, from China, Japan and Meissen. One German Hausmaler, J. F. Ferner, did similar work. Blue-and-white porcelain was thus decorated with red and green enamels and gilding in England early in the 19th century when oriental blue-and-white porcelain had become temporarily unfashionable.
