Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this bisque. Proper glazing not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also adds a layer of protection against moisture.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a professional, durable finish.
• 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: Acrylic-finished pots are not food-safe. Avoid direct contact with edible herbs if finished with acrylics.
• A protective varnish is recommended post-painting to preserve the design against light watering.

Craftsmanship & Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each planter carries the marks of artisanal production. Due to the nature of slip casting and hand-finishing, minor variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are natural hallmarks of handcrafted ceramics.

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.
