3-Section Round Snack Dish Ceramic Bisque
Distinguished by its three separate compartments formed in a single piece, the 3-Section Round Snack Dish Ceramic Bisque is an unglazed ceramic bisque product suitable for painting, glazing, and personalization projects.
Available in small and large sizes, each compartment can be decorated with a different color, pattern, or glaze to create a coordinated serving design.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is supplied bisque-fired at 1050°C but remains unglazed and porous. To make it suitable for serving food, all food-contact surfaces must be coated with a food-safe glaze and refired at the glaze’s recommended temperature.

Application and Firing Notes
- Before painting and glazing, dust, dirt, and grease must be removed from the surface, and the product must be completely dry.
- The firing temperature must be determined according to the technical specifications of the paint and glaze used.
- Care should be taken to prevent excessive glaze buildup on the inner bases of the compartments, at the joints, and along the edge transitions.
- The base areas that come into contact with the kiln shelf must be kept free of glaze.
- After firing, the surfaces must be inspected for cracks, unglazed areas, pinholes, and sharp edges.
FOOD CONTACT WARNING: Only glazes specifically identified as suitable for food contact should be used for food-serving applications. The product must not come into contact with food until the surface integrity of all compartments has been inspected after glazing and firing.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the casting and production processes, slight variations may occur between products in terms of dimensions, thickness, surface texture, and tone. Small variations in the compartments, joints, and edges reflect the natural characteristics of ceramic production.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to perform a test on a similar piece before application to evaluate the compatibility of the selected paint and glaze with the ceramic bisque, their color and flow behavior within the compartments, and the final firing result.
