Technical Details and Applications

Painting and Glazing

• Underglaze Painting: Refsan ready underglaze paints can be safely used on both tile and ceramic bisque products for decorative patterns and color applications.
• Ceramic Glazing: Ceramic glazes generally mature between 1040°C and 1050°C, producing a smooth surface and improving durability.
• Tile Glazing: Tile glazes are typically fired between 900°C and 920°C, providing a refined decorative surface.

Firing

Our products are carefully fired at 1050°C to reach the bisque stage. This firing temperature enhances durability and clarifies the natural color of the ceramic body. Different firing temperatures and durations may influence the surface characteristics and overall appearance.

Acrylic Paint for Decorative Use

• Acrylic paints can be used for decorative painting.
• Warning: Acrylic paint is not suitable for food contact.
• Applying a protective varnish after painting is recommended.
• Acrylic decoration does not require firing and is suitable for decorative purposes.
• Such paints should not be used on items intended for food or health contact.

Handcrafted Character and Possible Variations

Bisque products produced by casting or wheel throwing may show minor differences in thickness and size. In casting processes, thinner or thicker areas may form depending on the structural characteristics of the piece. These variations highlight the uniqueness of each item and the natural influence of craftsmanship.

Different clay bodies may also create natural color variations. For example, white clay produces lighter bisque tones, while red clay results in darker and warmer tones.

Durability and Care Notes

Our products become durable after glazing and firing. However, maintenance and usage conditions may vary depending on the application. Ceramic items are generally resistant to external factors but still require careful handling. Decorative finishes made with acrylic paint may wear over time.

Important Notes for Glazing and Firing

• The product must be cleaned and fully dried before glazing.
• Ceramic and tile glazes mature at different temperatures, so the correct firing schedule should be followed.
• After acrylic painting, varnishing helps protect against external factors.
• Different firing temperatures may affect the bisque color, so preliminary testing is recommended.
