Sphere Vase Ceramic Bisque
Sphere Vase Ceramic Bisque is an unglazed ceramic bisque product designed for painting, glazing, and personalized decoration projects, featuring a rounded body, narrow opening, and stable base.
Its spacious and uninterrupted body surface provides a suitable application area for underglazes, ceramic glazes, ceramic paints, color transitions, texture work, and decorative patterns. It can be displayed as a standalone decorative object or used with dried flowers, artificial branches, and minimalist arrangements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is supplied as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To make it suitable for holding water, its inner surface must be completely coated with suitable ceramic glazes and refired at the recommended temperature of the glaze used. It must also be tested for leaks before use.

- The firing temperature must be determined according to the technical specifications of the paint and glaze used.
- Care must be taken to prevent excessive glaze buildup around the narrow opening and on the inner base.
- The glaze must be applied at an even thickness to reduce running and tonal variations on the outer surface.
- The base must be kept free of glaze when the product is placed in the kiln.
- For products intended for use with water, the inner surface must be glazed completely and without gaps.
- After firing, the surface must be inspected for cracks, pinholes, sharp edges, and unglazed areas.
WATER USE WARNING: Glazing the product alone does not guarantee that it will be watertight. The correct glaze and firing schedule must be used, and the product must be filled with water for a period of time to test for leaks before use.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations may occur between products in terms of dimensions, surface texture, color tone, opening structure, and shape. These variations do not affect use and result from the product’s natural manufacturing process.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to perform a small test before application to check the compatibility of the selected paint and glaze with the product, the result they produce on the rounded surface, and their firing behavior.
