I have seen some judaica pieces ( matzah plates, sedar plates ) with gold leaf hebrew calligraphy. Does anyone know where I can purchase this type of gold calligraphy. It looks as if it was premade and then fused onto the glass plate. Thanks. Barbara

You can have a ceramic decal made with the gold luster (real gold). The decal is printed so that any digital image can be used. These are expensive. The more decals you have made, the less each one costs.

Heinrich Ceramic Decals Worcester MA. 508 797-4800

You can make your own with decal paper, silk screen, gold luster, and decal overcoat. You can also incorporate colored enamels along with the gold.

You can hand paint them if you are VERY good at calligraphy.
