Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this butterfly plaque. A professional glazed finish will enhance the intricate wing details while providing a resilient, high-quality surface.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a professional, high-gloss finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are perfect for showcasing refined artisanal motifs.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented decorative projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Items finished with acrylics are not food-safe. A protective varnish is recommended after acrylic application to keep the butterfly design vibrant and clean.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze type used.
