Square Vase Ceramic Bisque
Square Vase Ceramic Bisque is an unglazed ceramic bisque product designed for painting, glazing, and personalized decoration projects, featuring sharp lines, a geometric body, and a lid.
Its four wide and flat side surfaces provide a convenient application area for underglaze paints, ceramic glazes, ceramic paints, calligraphy, geometric patterns, and illustrations. It is available in two different sizes: small and large.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is supplied as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To make it suitable for holding water, the inner surface must be completely coated with a suitable ceramic glaze, fired again at the temperature recommended for the glaze used, and tested for leaks before use.

DECORATIVE USE WARNING: Products decorated with acrylic paint or decorative varnish should only be used for dry, decorative purposes. They must not be filled with water or washed under running water.
Application and Firing Notes
- Before painting, remove dust from the body and lid surfaces with a clean, dry brush.
- The firing temperature should be determined according to the technical specifications of the paint and glaze used.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive glaze from accumulating around the corners, lid, and inner surface.
- A thick layer of glaze should not be left on surfaces where the lid and body come into contact.
- It is recommended to mark, decorate, and fire the matching lid and body together.
- When placing them in the kiln, the base areas of the body and lid that come into contact with the kiln shelf must be left unglazed.
- For products intended to hold water, the inner surface must be glazed completely and without gaps.
- After firing, check the lid-to-body fit, surface integrity, and glaze coating.
WATER USE WARNING: Glazing the product alone does not guarantee that it will be watertight. The correct glaze and firing program must be used, and the product should be filled with water for a specified period to test for leaks before use.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations in dimensions, surface texture, color tone, corner structure, lid fit, and form 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 around the corners and lid, and their firing behavior.
