(54)	Method and apparatus for producing ceramic items having monochromatic and polychromatic veins

(57) A method for producing ceramic items with monochromatic and polychromatic veins which consists in providing, in an apparatus composed of a vessel (2) which has at least one inlet port (3) and a discharge port (4), a multiple stratification of variously colored material in the fluid state; in inducing, by way of appropriate means, an outflow of a flow of the colored material through the discharge port with a strictly laminar motion; in conveying, through a corresponding duct (5), the flow into corresponding impressions of molds (6); and in placing the outlet of the duct (5) in a variously immersed and orientated position in the impressions.
The apparatus for carrying out the method.
