• Tile (Çini) Firing: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are perfect for showcasing refined artisanal motifs.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented indoor projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: A protective varnish is recommended after acrylic application. Items finished with acrylics are not food-safe and are intended for decorative purposes only.
