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.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive glaze from accumulating around the neck, wings, and body joints.

- The base must be left unglazed when placing the product in the kiln.
- The product should be positioned securely inside the kiln without touching other pieces.
- Different glaze brands, application thicknesses, and firing programs may affect the final color and surface result.
- After firing, inspect the surface for cracks, glaze gaps, pinholes, and glaze runs.
DECORATIVE PRODUCT WARNING: The product is designed for figurative and decorative use. Its thin and protruding sections may be sensitive to impacts, so it should be handled carefully during transportation and display.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations in dimensions, weight, thickness, surface texture, color tone, body form, and figurative details may occur between products. These differences do not affect use and are a natural result of the product’s structure and production process.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: Before batch application, a small test is recommended to check the compatibility of the paint and glaze with the product, their flow across the curved surfaces, their accumulation around the joints, and the firing result.
