Tulip Vase Ceramic Bisque
Tulip Vase Ceramic Bisque is a decorative ceramic piece that interprets the tulip form with flowing, contemporary lines.
Its central teardrop-shaped opening, upward-sweeping curved lines, and plain surface allow it to be displayed as a standalone artistic object. Its unglazed and porous surface is suitable for underglaze colors, ceramic glazes, tile paints, and acrylic paints.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product is supplied as fired but unglazed ceramic bisque. To make it suitable for holding water and give it an easy-to-clean surface, the interior and exterior surfaces must be coated with suitable ceramic glazes and refired at the recommended temperature of the products used.

Application and Firing Notes
- Before painting, remove any dust from the surface with a clean, dry brush.
- If the product is cleaned with a damp sponge, it must be allowed to dry completely before application.
- 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 interior surface, around the upper opening, and along the curved transitions.
- The glaze thickness should be kept even along the inner edges of the central opening.
- The base must be kept free of glaze when placing the product in the kiln.
- The thin, upward-extending tips must be prevented from touching other products.
- The interior surface of products intended to hold water must be fully glazed, and their watertightness must be checked after firing.
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 vase must be tested with water before use.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations in dimensions, weight, thickness, surface texture, curves, and the central opening may occur between products. These variations do not affect use and result from the natural characteristics of the product.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: A small test is recommended before application to check the compatibility of the selected paint and glaze with the product, the result they produce on curved surfaces, their firing behavior, and the watertightness of the finished piece.
