A method for providing a three dimensional photographic scenic image, such as a portrait or other scene, on a ceramic substrate from an actual colored photographic image of the scene. The photographic image is transferred to the ceramic substrate, such as by a heat transfer process, after which it can be hand colored, or automatically by use of an ink jet printer, with the image being colorized using ceramic paints, such as water based or acrylic ceramic paints, in colors corresponding to the actual color photographic image, and the ceramic painted color image is then fired, such as in a home type oven, to create the finished decorative product. The fired workpiece may then be sealed, or, alternatively, it may be glazed in a kiln, if desired. A frame may also be provided around the ceramic photographic image containing ceramic substrate.
