White Earthenware pottery or Bisque is painted using non-toxic paints which are clay-based. The paints, or underglazes, can be applied using a variety of tools and techniques. Once painted the bisque is dipped in a clear glaze before being kiln-fired to around 1000°c. The finished product is not only food-safe but suitable for the dishwasher and microwave.
