I wonder how much handwork is involved in cleaning up the printed model and applying the glaze (unless the glaze is printed, too).

They're made by http://www.viridis3d.com/ceramics.htm The materials are dirt cheap ;-) and I believe they were applying the glaze by dipping them in racks.

Yup, it seems Viridis3D are the ones doing the actual printing and firing. I thought it was done in-house by Shapeways.
