Something is there for decoration if it is there to look good, or to make the thing it is attached to look good. The picture is of some decorative trim on a building.
A glaze is a layer of material melted onto ceramic. Glazing is often seen on decorative pottery and tiles.
Glazes are essentially made from sand that melts into glass as it is fired, with other compounds mixed into it to make sure it melts at the right temperature, and others added to change the colour of the glaze.
Inlaying is a decorative technique, where some of a surface is cut out and filled in with another material so that the surface of the inlay is the same height as the original surface. Usually the inlay material is brightly colored, a shiny metal, or a pretty material such as mother of pearl. The surface being inlaid is most commonly wood, and inlay work is commonly seen on furniture in some countries. Metal jewelry can be inlaid with gemstones or contrasting metal.
