Bisque (pottery)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other meanings of the word bisque, see Bisque (disambiguation).
Bisque porcelain is unglazed, white ceramic ware[1][2] Examples include bisque dolls.[3]
Bisque (often called "biscuit"[4][5][6][7][8][9] ) also refers to "pottery that has been fired but not yet glazed. Biscuit earthenware is porous and readily absorbs water; vitreous ware and bone china are almost non-porous even in the biscuit state."[10] The temperature of bisque firing is usually at least 1000°C, although higher temperatures are common.[11] The firing of the ware that results in the bisque article causes permanent chemical and physical changes to occur. These result in a much harder and more resilient article which can still be porous, and this can ease the application of glazes.
