Different colourants were used for aesthetic and symbolic purposes, or to imitate the more expensive and rare semi-precious gemstones like turquoise, carnelian, lapis lazuli, garnets or obsidian. Egyptians believed that faience in the colour of gemstones had the same properties. Red had protective powers, dark lapis blue gave strength, courage and wisdom, bright turquoise was associated with fertility and offered protection to the wearer.
不同的着色剂被用于美观与象征目的，或模仿更昂贵罕见的半宝石，如绿松石、红玛瑙、青金石、石榴石或黑曜石。埃及人相信法恩斯釉呈宝石色时具有相同的属性。红色具有保护力，深蓝的青金石赋予力量、勇气和智慧，明亮的绿松石与丰饶相关并为佩戴者提供保护。

As faience was more available than semi-precious gemstones it became a popular and widely used material for small objects like scarabs and other forms of amulets, beads, jewellery, small size statuettes, cosmetic vessels and ritual objects.
