china paint vs overglaze

Can someone please tell me the difference between china paint and
overglaze? Which one would give more brilliant color and more solid
coverage? I really like the work of Kurt Weiser, and I understand that
he uses china paint. Also, can anyone recommend a really good brand of
commercial china paint or overglaze? Thanks!

Lisa, who is about to give up the quest for crystals in favor of
something less kiln intense ; )

China paint is just a form of overglaze. Overglaze
is a very generic term.
