Bono Tumbler Ceramic Bisque
Bono Tumbler Ceramic Bisque is an unglazed ceramic bisque product designed for beverage service, painting, and personalized design projects, featuring a simple cylindrical form and handleless structure.
Its smooth and uninterrupted outer surface provides a convenient application area for underglaze paints, ceramic glazes, ceramic paints, geometric patterns, minimalist illustrations, lettering, and color transitions. Once properly glazed, it can be used for serving beverages or in decorative arrangements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is supplied as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To make it suitable for beverage use, the inner surface, rim, and all areas that may come into contact with food must be coated with food-safe 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.
- The inner surface, rim, and areas that will come into contact with food must be glazed evenly and without gaps.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive glaze from accumulating around the rim and at the inner base.
- The base must be left unglazed when placing the product in the kiln.
- After firing, check the glazed surface for cracks, pinholes, sharp edges, or uncoated areas.
FOOD CONTACT WARNING: Glazing the product alone does not make it suitable for beverage use. Only glazes identified by their manufacturer as food-safe should be used, and all contact surfaces must be carefully inspected after correct application and firing.
Usage and Cleaning Notes
- Sudden temperature changes may cause ceramic products to crack, so the product should be protected from thermal shock.
- Dishwasher and microwave suitability depends on the technical properties of the applied glaze and firing program.
- The rim, inner surface, and glaze coating should be inspected before use.
- Products decorated with acrylic paint or decorative varnish must not be soaked in water or washed.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations in dimensions, surface texture, color tone, and form may occur between products. These differences do not affect use and are a natural result of the production process.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: A small test application is recommended before use to check the compatibility of the paint and glaze with the product, the result they produce on the surface, and their firing behavior.
