What Does "Hand-Painted" Usually Mean?

painted"? Does it mean that it's done with a stencil? Or does it mean
that the drawings are mechanically imprinted onto the object and
someone colors it in with their hand?
My guess is that things would cost more if they were really hand-
painted.

No, it may be legit. But some of that stuff is painted on an assembly line
rather than some fancy artist doing a one off. Things like that are done
all the time by workers making pennies per hour.

Like where one person does the drawing and one or more others do the
fill-ins and someone else does the glazing?

Either one could apply. Your image is too small to see detail, but the
style is one most commonly painted by hand with brush-applied colors.
The same style has colors that tend to be somewhat transparent, so that
overlapping brush strokes can be seen. Your image could also be just a
decal-type transfer ... if you cannot see brushstrokes, or see a pattern
in the colors, it is more likely (not absolutely) a decal.

would need several stencils.

Pretty much. Can I do the red today? I'm tired of painting blue.

There's this other company that sells the exact same stuff as the one
in the link, only from different molds. I have a big glazed frog and a
big cross from them. I didn't see the brush hairs (as far as I can
tell, that is). They probably are hand-painted, but maybe not with a
paint brush. They look like they were drawn with something similar to
chalk. The paint looks dabbed, but I don't know art (only what I like).

I'm not absolutely sure why it matters. It's mass-produced
stuff. It ain't ever going to be collectable art, so either
you like the way it looks, or you don't. What difference does
it make how it was done?

I'm just curious. But if I ever buy a Mexican vase, for some reason I
would want it to be all hand-painted. Myabe because vases are supposed
to be supreme?
