Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this bisque. The wide body is ideal for central motifs, while the tapered lid allows for refined decorative finishing.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a professional, high-gloss finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are recommended for a refined, artisanal surface.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented decorative projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Items finished with acrylics are not food-safe. Do not use for food contact if finished with acrylic paint. A protective varnish is highly recommended.

Craftsmanship & Variations

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

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Both lid and jar must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and dried before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze type used.
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how the kiln atmosphere influences the final bisque color.
