Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this bisque. As a censer is exposed to thermal stress from candles, a professional glazed finish is vital for heat resistance and easy removal of essential oil or incense residue.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a resilient, high-gloss finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are perfect for showcasing intricate artisanal patterns.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Do not use with real tealights or burning incense if finished with acrylics, as the paint is not heat-resistant. Use LED tealights for decorative purposes only.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Heart Censer reflects the unique touch of artisanal production. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are hallmarks of authentic handcrafted pottery.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

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