Fika Serving Ceramic Bisque
Fika Serving Ceramic Bisque is a modern ceramic product inspired by the simple and sharing-oriented approach of the Scandinavian fika tradition.
Thanks to its rounded corners and wide surface, it can be used in various arrangements, from coffee-side treats to breakfast presentations. Its unglazed and porous surface is suitable for underglaze, ceramic glaze, tile paint, and acrylic paint applications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is delivered as a fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. In order to be used for food presentations, its surface must be coated with food-safe ceramic glazes and re-fired at the recommended temperature of the used products.

Handcrafting and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations in size, surface texture, and shape may be observed among 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 observe the compatibility of the paint and glaze with the product, the result it will create on a wide surface, and its firing behavior.
