Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with the authentic wheel-thrown surface of the M101. Firing is the mandatory final step to transform the porous bisque into a non-porous ceramic artwork.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a professional, high-gloss, and durable finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C can be used for refined, artisanal patterns.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable for display-only decorative projects using acrylic paints (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished surfaces are not food-safe and should not be used in contact with water or health-sensitive materials.
• Finish with a protective varnish post-painting to maintain the decorative integrity.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Vase M101 is unique. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone (white vs. red clay) are natural hallmarks of authentic hand-thrown pottery, ensuring every piece carries its own character.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and completely dry before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of your specific glaze (Ceramic or Tile).
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how kiln variations affect the final bisque color.
