Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this bisque. For architectural or decorative use, ensuring a high-quality glazed finish is essential for color vibrance and structural protection.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a professional, resilient finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are perfect for artisanal "Çini" styles.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented decorative projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished tiles are not suitable for health-sensitive contact or outdoor use unless properly sealed.
• A protective varnish is recommended post-painting to preserve the artistic design and protect against dust.

Craftsmanship & Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Leaf Tile carries the unique marks of artisanal production. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are hallmarks of handcrafted ceramics, ensuring every tile contributes to a truly unique and authentic look.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and completely dry before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze used.
• Perform a test fire to observe how kiln variations influence the final color.
