Bisque firing and glazing


Some of my pieces in the kiln for bisque firing. Bone china is bisque-fired at high temperature so that the ware can be supported if need be and then glazed at a lower temperature. If decal decorations are applied they are fired again to a lower temperature again.
.

These are two of the spoons I made for the condiment set, supported by a thin silicon carbide rod.




The glaze is stained with a red dye and gum added to help it adhere to the vitrified pots.


Some of Yanze's, Ilona's and my work waiting for the insides to dry before being sprayed on the outsides.
