This would be so damn hard to line up. Semi-spherical shape with a graphic on it? No way are you getting that perfect. A smartly designed product would account for that misalignment by simply stopping the graphic before they overlap and leaving a gap.
It's not that hard, it's printed with a huge soft industrial tiddy. You just have to line it up on the flat stamp thingy, which should be easy, probably.
You are way underestimating it.
Ceramics are never super tight in tolerance, and a tiddy is a soft, deformable shape that will never deform exactly the same every time, plus it needs to be moved and compressed around the part. You get any of those off by even a little and you get misalignment.
You won't ever get this type of misalignment with the tiddy method. You can get distortion of the pattern.
Very true, but the person above was downplaying how difficult aligning things would be. You are right that with the tiddy method, the rubber/silicone (I assume that's what they are made of) comes down in one shot so the pattern could distort, but not misalign as shown.
The original picture was almost certainly a ceramic glaze decal that would be very hard to get to line up perfectly.
Even with slip cast porcelain, where the actual ceramic piece isn't going to vary that significantly from casting to casting, it still would take some expertise to apply it without a very visible seam.

Wait, there's a real tool called a "tiddy" which is a "soft, deformable shape"?
Wait till you google image search it and see what it looks like!
(I would recommend you include ceramic and printing in your search)
Here's a video showing the tiddy in action.

It's a silicone tiddy?

Yeah it would be stretched but it woudn't be misaligned like that.
Are they industrially known as printing tiddies or am I gonna get giggled at (not that I mind) when I go buy one for home projects?
I guess they're called something like silicone printers or something but I prefer printing tiddies. They're absolutely mesmerizing.
If theres a tiddy that isn't mesmerizing I haven't met it
