Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly recommended for these wheel-thrown forms. Glazing is essential to transform the porous bisque into a professional, non-porous ceramic artwork.

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

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable for display-only decorative projects using acrylic paints (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished items are not food-safe and should not be used in contact with water or health-sensitive materials.
• Finish with a protective varnish post-painting to maintain the artistic integrity.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Oil Lamp Vase is unique. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone (white vs. red clay) are hallmarks of authentic hand-thrown pottery and add significant artisanal value to the piece.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• The vase must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and completely dry before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements for your specific glaze type (Ceramic or Tile).
• Pre-testing is advised, as kiln atmosphere can subtly influence the final bisque color.
