Technical Details and Applications
Painting and Glazing
- Underglaze Decoration: Refsan underglaze paints can be safely used on both ceramic bisque and traditional pottery bisque surfaces.
- Ceramic Glazing: Ceramic glazes typically mature between 1040°C and 1050°C, creating a smooth and durable surface.
- Traditional Pottery Glazing: Pottery glazes are generally fired between 900°C and 920°C, producing a thinner and elegant finish.
Kiln Firing
Our products are carefully fired at 1050°C to reach the ceramic bisque stage. This firing temperature increases the durability of the product and enhances the natural tone of the clay body. Variations in firing duration or temperature may slightly affect the final surface characteristics.
Acrylic Paint
Acrylic paints can be used for decorative purposes; however, they are not suitable for food contact. It is recommended to apply a protective varnish after painting. Acrylic painting does not require kiln firing and is ideal for decorative applications.
Possible Product Variations
Bisque products produced through casting or wheel techniques may show slight variations in thickness, size, or surface tone. These differences reflect the handcrafted nature of ceramic production and give each piece a unique character.
The use of different clay bodies may also lead to natural color variations. White clay generally produces lighter bisque tones, while red clay creates darker and warmer shades.
Product Durability
After glazing and final firing, ceramic products become highly durable. However, decorative surfaces painted with acrylic paint may wear over time and are recommended primarily for decorative use.
Important Notes During Firing and Glazing
- The product should be cleaned and fully dried before glazing.
- Ceramic and pottery glazes mature at different temperatures, therefore the appropriate firing temperature must be applied.
- Applying varnish after acrylic painting helps protect the surface from external factors.
- Different firing temperatures may slightly affect the bisque color, therefore test firing is recommended.
