Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this contoured bisque. You can achieve a professional artisanal look by using traditional tile (Çini) or modern ceramic glazes.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a professional, high-gloss finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are perfect for showcasing the fine contour details and vibrant traditional motifs.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented decorative projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Items finished with acrylics are not food-safe. A protective varnish is recommended after acrylic application to preserve the intricate details.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Shah Jar reflects the unique touch of artisanal production. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are hallmarks of authentic handcrafted pottery.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and dried before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze type used.
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how kiln atmosphere influences the final bisque color.
