Square Plate with Rounded Edges Ceramic Bisque
Square Plate with Rounded Edges Ceramic Bisque is an unglazed ceramic bisque product designed for painting, glazing, and personalized serving designs, featuring a square form and smoothly rounded corners.
Its flat central surface provides a convenient application area for underglaze paints, ceramic glazes, ceramic paints, modern illustrations, mandala patterns, botanical motifs, and color blocks. It is available in two sizes, small and large, and each product is sold individually.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is supplied as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To make it suitable for serving food, the inner surface, edges, and areas that may come into contact with food must be completely coated with a food-safe ceramic glaze and fired again at the temperature recommended for the glaze used.

- A main composition can be created in the center, with borders or repeating patterns around the edges.
- The square form can be emphasized by highlighting the rounded corner transitions with different colors.
- The small and large sizes can be decorated using the same design scheme to create a coordinated serving collection.
- Different surface finishes can be created using solid-color, matte, glossy, transparent, colored, or effect glazes.
- Once finished with a food-safe glaze, it can be used to serve breakfast foods, appetizers, Turkish delight, and dry treats.
- For projects that will not be kiln-fired, acrylic painting, stencil, decoupage, dry-brush, antiquing, and calligraphy techniques can be applied.
DECORATIVE USE WARNING: Plates decorated with acrylic paint or decorative varnish should only be used for dry, decorative purposes. They must not be used for serving food, washed under running water, or soaked in water.
Application and Firing Notes
- Before painting, remove surface dust with a clean, dry brush.
- The firing temperature should be determined according to the technical specifications of the paint and glaze used.
- The inner surface, edges, and areas that may come into contact with food must be glazed evenly and without gaps.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive glaze from accumulating around the rounded corners, edge transitions, and base.
- Glaze should be applied in an even thickness to ensure consistent color and texture across the broad, flat surface.
- The base must be left unglazed when placing the product in the kiln.
- The plate should be placed flat and securely on the kiln shelf without touching surrounding products.
- After firing, check the surface for cracks, pinholes, sharp edges, glaze gaps, or uncoated areas.
FOOD USE WARNING: Glazing the product alone does not guarantee that it is suitable for food use. Glazes identified as suitable for this purpose must be used on food-contact surfaces, the correct firing program must be applied, and the product must be inspected for surface defects before use.
Usage and Cleaning Notes
- Before using the product to serve food, inspect the glazed surface for cracks, pinholes, glaze gaps, and sharp edges.
- Products that are cracked, broken, or have a damaged glaze surface must not be used for serving food.
- Food residue should be cleaned promptly.
- A soft sponge and suitable cleaning product should be used for cleaning.
- Metal scouring pads, hard scrapers, and abrasive cleaning products must not be used.
- Dishwasher and microwave suitability depends on the technical properties of the glaze and firing program used.
- Sudden temperature changes may increase the risk of cracking, so the product should be protected from thermal shock.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations in dimensions, weight, surface texture, color tone, edge structure, and corner transitions may occur between products. These differences do not affect use and are a natural result of the production process.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: A small test application is recommended before use to check the compatibility of the paint and glaze with the product, the result they produce on the flat surface, and their firing behavior.
