Egg Cup M2 - Ceramic Bisque
Egg Cup Ceramic Bisque is a ceramic piece designed for breakfast presentations, featuring a wide plate form and a raised egg holder in the center.
The central holder helps keep a boiled egg securely in place, while the wide surrounding surface provides space for different decorative applications. Its unglazed and porous surface is suitable for underglaze colors, ceramic glazes, tile paints, and acrylic paints.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is supplied as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To make it suitable for food contact, the entire surface must be coated with food-safe ceramic glazes and refired at the recommended temperature of the products used.

- If the product is cleaned with a damp sponge, it must be allowed to dry completely before application.
- The firing temperature must be determined according to the technical specifications of the paint and glaze used.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive paint or glaze buildup in the central egg holder and the surrounding transition areas.
- The glaze thickness around the rim should be kept even.
- All surfaces intended for food contact must be completely and evenly coated with a suitable glaze.
- The base must be kept free of glaze when placing the product in the kiln.
- The product must be placed on a flat, clean, and stable kiln shelf.
- After firing, the surface must be inspected for cracks, glaze flaking, pinholes, and sharp edges.
FOOD USE WARNING: Glazing the product alone does not guarantee that it is suitable for food contact. Glazes specifically identified as food-safe must be used, the correct firing schedule must be followed, and the product must be inspected for surface integrity before use.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations in dimensions, weight, thickness, surface texture, bisque color, and egg holder form may occur between products. These variations do not affect use and result from the natural characteristics of the product.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: A small test is recommended before application to check the compatibility of the selected paint and glaze with the product, the result they produce on the egg holder, and their firing behavior.
