- 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 reliefs, edges, and corner transitions.
- It should be remembered that thick glaze layers may reduce the visibility of fine motif details.
- 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, edge, and relief motifs 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 embossed surfaces, and its firing behavior.
