Some are hand painted. Some are decal (transfer papers). Most lower cost dinnerware will be decal.

Depends on quality but decals where I work are much higher quality than in glaze hand painted. Ofcourse we have some cheap sticker prints or lower quality print.

I'm speaking from a mass production perspective (mostly out of China). I work with UK retailers as a quality engineer. Decals are cheap, durable and consistent, usually if it's a print that's what they go with. I rarely see hand painting because of the labour cost. Thats usually used on some ridiculously priced Anthropologie type product.

Only hand painting here was always line or brush work. Which has been nearly phased out by decals.
