Anyone used Giotto Decopens for porcelain painting?

It says you can and shows a picture of painting mugs with them, I want to do this for father's day, does anyone know if they are washproof, or have to be sealed or anything?

Thanks in advance! :)

We've just done these this afternoon, they look really good, not sure yet if they can be washed, I'll check later and let u know:o

I've got a feeling the pens are only permanent on porous surfaces, not glazed or smooth things. I tend to use the Giotto pens on srones, salt dough shapes etc.

For porcelain I use these, which can be heat fixed:

I've never used them but it says they are water based which implies to me the colour will wash off.

Not looking good then, but thanks for the replies.
I have just seen some on Baker Ross that are reduced, might have to order some and hope they come before Friday!

(proper porcelain ones I meant to say)
