Curved Tray Ceramic Bisque
Curved Tray Ceramic Bisque is a ceramic product that offers a simple and modern look with its long rectangular form and upward-curving short edges.
Its wide central area creates a suitable surface for pattern and color applications, while the raised end sections complete the visual character of the tray. Its unglazed and porous structure is suitable for underglaze paint, ceramic glaze, tile paint, and acrylic paint applications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is delivered as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To be used in contact with food, its entire surface must be covered with food-safe ceramic glazes and refired at the recommended temperature of the products used.

Application and Firing Notes
- Before painting, dust on the surface should be removed with a clean and dry brush.
- If cleaned with a damp sponge, the product must be completely dried before application.
- The firing temperature should be determined according to the technical specifications of the paint and glaze used.
- The glaze thickness on the wide central surface should be kept even, and pooling should be prevented.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive glaze accumulation on the curved short edges, corners, and surface transitions.
- The surface that will come into contact with food must be completely and evenly covered with a suitable glaze.
- When placing in the kiln, no glaze should be left on the base section.
- The tray should be placed on a flat, clean, and balanced kiln shelf.
- After firing, the surface should be checked for cracks, glaze shivering, pinholes, and sharp edges.
FOOD CONTACT WARNING: The fact that the product is glazed does not alone guarantee that it is suitable for food contact. Glazes specified as food-safe must be used, the correct firing program must be applied, and the product must be checked for surface integrity before use.
Craftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, minor differences in dimensions, weight, thickness, surface texture, bisque tone, and curved edge form may be seen between products. These differences, which do not affect usage, stem from the natural structure of the product.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to perform a small test before application to see the compatibility of the paint and glaze to be used with the product, the result it will create on wide and curved surfaces, and its firing behavior.
