SF Series Soft Fired Stoneware Bisque for Cone 5-6 Glazing

Soft Fired Stoneware Bisque, Bisque Ware and Tiles for Cone 5- 6 Glazing

Sheffield Pottery is pleased to offer a new line of stoneware bisque: Seeley’s Luxury Stoneware Bisque. This is Soft Fired (SF) stoneware bisque which can be decorated with cone 5-6 glazes.

Our line of SOFT-FIRED STONEWARE (item# preceded by letters “SF”) matures at cones 4-6.
We suggest firing it to maturity at witness cone 5.
The soft-fired bisque, as you buy it, has been fired to cone 08.
At that point, it is still quite porous and takes the glazes beautifully, whether you brush, dip or swirl it.
The glaze dries fast and you can apply 1-4 coats at least as fast as you can on Earthenware.
The results at cone 5 are beautiful.

Firing Recommendations:

Soft-fired Buff Stoneware. Apply a high-firing underglaze and/or glaze and fire to cone 5-6.Witness cones: Cone 5 touching, Cone 6 at 11 o’clock. Degrees in Fahrenheit: 2,220º F, +/- 20º Degrees in Celsius: 1,200º C. Ramp Speed: 500º/ hr. (260º C.)
