Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this bisque. For daily use, it is essential to use lead-free, food-safe glazes to ensure the cup is non-porous and hygienic.

• 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 also be used for delicate artistic styles.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented decorative projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished cups are not food-safe. Do not use for drinking if finished with acrylics.
• Applying a protective varnish post-painting is recommended to preserve the artistic design.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Sema cup carries the unique marks 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

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