In the case of a method for producing decorative surface structures, patterns or the like on articles, in particular sanitary articles, basic bodies made of a first metal, basic bodies made of metal that are coated with a first metal or basic bodies made of plastic that are coated with a first metal are used as a basis. Then, a layer of material temporarily applied to the article is partially removed by electromagnetic radiation or by particle radiation, thereby forming a first surface structure with regions that are free from material. Subsequently, the first metal is at least partially removed in the material-free regions or the first metal or some other metal is built up in the material-free regions. This method step is followed by removal of the still present material, a second (final) surface structure being formed. Finally, further top layers can preferably be applied to the article, the second surface structure being substantially retained.
