Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are perfectly suited for the smooth surface of the Joker series. Glazing is mandatory to achieve a non-porous, hygienic finish suitable for hot food.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1060°C for a professional, high-gloss, and durable finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: For traditional motifs, use tile glazes fired at 900°C – 920°C for an elegant, artisanal look.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Acrylic paints can be used for purely decorative display projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished bowls are not food-safe. Do not use for eating or drinking unless professionally glazed and fired.
• We recommend applying a protective varnish post-painting to preserve the decorative finish.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each 12 cm Joker Bowl is produced with meticulous attention to detail. Minor variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are natural characteristics of handcrafted ceramics, ensuring every piece is unique.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• The bowl must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and completely dry before applying glaze.
• Ensure your kiln schedule matches the specific temperature requirements of the chosen glaze.
• Pre-testing is advised, as kiln variations can influence the final color and texture of the bisque.
• Technical results of the firing and glazing process remain the responsibility of the user.
