Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with these textured bisque forms. The relief details are perfect for showing off glaze depth and "break" effects during firing.

• 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 also be used for refined, artisanal patterns.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-only decorative projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished plates are not food-safe. Do not use for serving food if finished with acrylics.
• A protective varnish is recommended post-painting to preserve the decorative relief details.

Craftsmanship & Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each plate carries the unique marks of handcrafted production. Due to the nature of slip casting and artisanal finishing, minor variations in thickness, size, or clay tone (white vs. red clay) are natural hallmarks of authentic pottery.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before glaze application.
• Strictly adhere to the temperature requirements of the specific glaze used.
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how kiln variations influence the final bisque color.
