Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this bisque. For functional dining use, applying a lead-free, non-porous glaze is essential for hygiene and a brilliant, high-gloss finish.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a professional, durable surface.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are perfect for showcasing refined artisanal motifs on the cup's exterior.

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. Do not use for serving food if finished with acrylic paint. A protective varnish is recommended after painting.

Craftsmanship & Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Egg Cup reflects the unique touch of artisanal production. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are hallmarks of authentic handcrafted pottery, ensuring every piece has its own character.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and dried before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze type used.
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how the kiln atmosphere influences the final bisque color.
