What type of paints to paint on cups, plates etc?

[Umlellala]

Noticing that Woolies have an espresso set for £1.97! at the moment, thought I could paint for xmas gifts. What kind of paint do I need (ie that will last washing up?)

THANKS

It must be ceramic painting day today! Just posted on another thread:

"... Paint for porcelain is waterproof, weatherproof and dishwasher safe."
About these paints...

They are tiny tubs but you can dilute with a bit of water - which I will do next time.

great link, exactly what i was looking for - thanks (but must make sure i don't spend a fortune on 'equipment' therefore defeating the whole money-saving object)
