Fish Vase Ceramic Bisque
Fish Vase Ceramic Bisque is a decorative ceramic product featuring a figurative design inspired by the form of a fish and a broad surface.
The body, fins, and facial details of the fish form can be highlighted using different colors. Its unglazed, porous surface is suitable for underglaze paints, ceramic glazes, ceramic paints, and acrylic paints.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is supplied as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To make it suitable for holding water and provide an easy-to-clean surface, the inner and outer surfaces must be coated with suitable ceramic glazes and fired again at the temperature recommended for the glaze used.

Application and Firing Notes
- Before painting, remove surface dust with a clean, dry brush.
- The firing temperature should be determined according to the technical specifications of the paint and glaze used.
- For products intended to hold water, the inner surface must be glazed completely, evenly, and without gaps.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive glaze from accumulating around the body transitions, fin details, and inner surface.
- Glaze thickness should be kept even across the product surface, and thick applications that may cause glaze runs should be avoided.
- Areas that come into contact with the kiln shelf must be left unglazed.
- The product should be positioned securely inside the kiln without touching other pieces.
- Different glaze brands, application thicknesses, and firing programs may affect the final color and surface result.
- After firing, products intended to hold water should be inspected for cracks, pinholes, glaze gaps, and uncoated areas.
- Before use, the product should be filled with water and tested for leaks.
WATER USE WARNING: Glazing the product alone does not guarantee that it will be watertight. The correct glaze and firing program must be used, the inner surface must be completely coated, and the product must be tested with water before use.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations in dimensions, weight, thickness, surface texture, color tone, and form details may occur between products. These differences do not affect use and are a natural result of the product’s structure and production process.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: Before batch application, a small test is recommended to check the compatibility of the paint and glaze with the product, their flow across the figurative surface, their accumulation around the details, and the firing result.
