Bisque (pottery)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other meanings of the word bisque, see Bisque.
Bisque, also biscuit, is a fired piece of unglazed ceramic. Depending on the technique and materials used, it is either the final article, such as dolls' heads, or an intermediary stage before the article has a coating of glaze applied and is then fired again.
The firing of the unfired article that results in the bisque article causes permanent chemical and physical changes to occur. These result in a much harder and more resilient article.
