Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this bisque. For a professional-grade lighting fixture, we recommend high-quality glazes that enhance both color and structural durability.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a smooth, high-gloss, and resilient surface.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C can be used for refined, artisanal patterns.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable for display-only decorative projects using acrylic paints (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: When using acrylic-finished bases, we recommend using low-heat LED bulbs to protect the paint surface.
• Applying a protective varnish post-painting is recommended to preserve the artistic integrity.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each lampshade base carries the unique touch of artisanal production. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are hallmarks of handcrafted pottery, ensuring every piece has its own unique character.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• The surface must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and completely dry before glaze application.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze type used.
• Perform a test fire to observe how kiln variations influence the final bisque color.
