Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

• Underglaze Decoration: Refsan ready underglaze paints can be safely applied on both tile and ceramic bisque surfaces.
• Ceramic Glazing: Ceramic glazes generally mature between 1040°C and 1050°C, producing a smooth and durable surface.
• Tile Glazing: Tile glazes are typically fired between 900°C and 920°C, creating a thinner decorative finish.

Firing

Our products are carefully bisque fired at 1050°C. This firing temperature strengthens the ceramic structure and stabilizes the natural tone of the clay body. Different firing temperatures and kiln schedules may slightly influence the final appearance of the surface.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Acrylic paints can be used for decorative painting applications.
• Warning: Acrylic paint is not suitable for food contact.
• Applying protective varnish after painting is recommended to improve durability.
• Acrylic decoration does not require kiln firing and is intended for decorative purposes.

Handcrafted Nature and Possible Variations

Bisque ceramics produced by slip casting or wheel techniques may show small variations in thickness and dimensions. These variations occur naturally during the production process and give each piece a unique handmade character.

Different clay bodies may also produce natural color variations. The color of ceramic bisque depends on the clay used. For example, white clay produces lighter tones while red clay results in warmer and darker shades.

Durability

Ceramic products reach their final durability after glazing and firing. Care requirements may vary depending on the finishing method. Glazed ceramic surfaces are generally resistant to external factors, while acrylic painted decorations may wear over time.

Important Notes for Glazing and Firing

• Clean and dry the product completely before glazing.
• Ceramic and tile glazes mature at different temperatures, therefore correct firing temperatures must be used.
• After acrylic decoration, applying protective varnish helps protect the surface from external factors.
• Different firing temperatures may affect the color of bisque ceramics, therefore test firing is recommended.
