Pearl Bowl Ceramic Bisque – Striped Model
Pearl Bowl Ceramic Bisque – Striped Model is a ceramic bowl that offers an elegant look with thin vertical lines surrounding its outer surface, its deep body, and compact base.
While its plain inner surface provides a suitable area for pattern and glaze applications, its striped outer surface extending from the base to the mouth section creates a distinct rhythm and texture. Its unglazed and porous structure is suitable for underglaze paint, ceramic glaze, tile paint, and acrylic paint applications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is delivered as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To be used in contact with food, its inner and outer surfaces must be covered with food-safe ceramic glazes and refired at the recommended temperature of the products used.

Application and Firing Notes
- Before painting, dust on the surface should be removed with a clean and dry brush.
- If cleaned with a damp sponge, the product must be completely dried before application.
- The firing temperature should be determined according to the technical specifications of the paint and glaze used.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive glaze accumulation on the inner base, mouth edge, and body transitions.
- The formation of thick paint or glaze layers in the channels between the vertical lines should be prevented.
- It should be remembered that thick glaze applications may reduce the visibility of the striped texture.
- The inner surface that will come into contact with food must be completely and evenly covered with a suitable glaze.
- When placing in the kiln, no glaze should be left on the base section.
- After firing, the surface should be checked for cracks, glaze shivering, pinholes, and sharp edges.
FOOD CONTACT WARNING: The fact that the product is glazed does not alone guarantee that it is suitable for food contact. Glazes specified as food-safe must be used, the correct firing program must be applied, and the product must be checked for surface integrity before use.
Craftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, minor differences in dimensions, weight, thickness, surface texture, bisque tone, and vertical lines may be seen between products. These differences, which do not affect usage, stem from the natural structure of the product.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to perform a small test before application to see the compatibility of the paint and glaze to be used with the product, the result it will create on the striped surface, and its firing behavior.
