The term texture comes from modern design and has similarities to the term decor. The creation of a texture serves the purpose of providing colorless surface structures with patterns, colors and motifs in order to give them an aesthetic appearance. In the field of floristry and horticulture, this applies, for example, to vases, pots and other earthenware which, when made from their basic material, leave a smooth and monochrome impression. Since this is not always desired, the vessel is mechanically covered with a decor after production in the last production step, after which a glaze is often applied to strengthen the motif against external influences. A texture for the corresponding decor is created beforehand and can be understood as a blueprint for the final decor. In the computer age, different textures can be tested on the computer screen, provided the object to be designed is available as a 3D model. Patterns of all kinds can be effortlessly adapted to the exact shape of the respective object, designers can use this to recognize whether the pattern as a texture for the object is an attractive sight. Even if the term is rarely used outside of computer technology, manual textures can also play a role in the design of objects, for example by stopping sketches on a vase or bowl in the artisan production.
