Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

• Underglaze Decoration: Refsan underglaze paints can be safely used on both ceramic and traditional pottery bisque surfaces.
• Ceramic Glazing: Ceramic glazes typically mature between 1040°C - 1050°C, creating a smooth and durable surface.
• Traditional Pottery Glazing: Pottery glazes are fired between 900°C - 920°C, producing a thinner and decorative finish.

Kiln Firing

Our products are carefully fired at 1050°C to achieve the ceramic bisque stage. This firing temperature improves durability and enhances the natural tone of the clay body.

Acrylic Paint

Acrylic paints can be used for decorative purposes; however, they are not suitable for food contact. Applying a protective varnish is recommended to increase durability against external factors.

Possible Product Variations

Small variations in thickness, tone, or surface texture may occur in bisque products produced by casting or wheel techniques. These subtle differences give each piece a unique handmade character.

Product Durability

Glazing and firing significantly increase the durability of ceramic products. However, decorations made with acrylic paints may wear over time; therefore, such pieces are recommended for decorative use.

Important Notes for Firing and Glazing

• The product should be cleaned and completely dried before glazing.
• Ceramic and pottery glazes mature at different temperatures; appropriate firing temperatures should be used.
• Applying varnish after acrylic painting helps protect the surface.
• Different firing temperatures may slightly affect the bisque color; test firing is recommended.
