Bisqueware is unglazed fired clay. Clay that has been bisqued is usually fired from cone 08 to cone 04 and remains porous so that it can be glazed and there will be a good glaze "uptake" to guarantee a good glaze color and surface. So that means that it is not vitrified and not waterproof. If you mean that you underglazed the piece and missed some spots, then you need to clear glaze it totally and then fire it in a glaze firing. If however you did glaze the piece and fire it, then it depends on the clay body and temperature it was fired to as to whether it was fired to maturity and became vitrified -- becoming hard, glass-like, and nonabsorbent. Low fire clay or earthenware remains porous after it is glaze fired. So it is really important that the glaze surface is complete. But stoneware and porcelain will become vitrified if fired to maturity. If those had bare areas without glaze, then you could re-fire it and add some glaze to those areas. When adding glaze it is a good idea to warm up the piece first to help the new glaze dry. The coat will be thinner because the glaze can't be absorbed like when it was bisqued and porous. Your vase will not be ruined if you put water. You can test it to see if it leaks by adding water and placing it on a dish to see if water seeps out. If it does leak then you can either re-glaze it and fire it again or seal it with a commercial sealant.

Answer 4

Clay that has been fired once at a lower temperature... you can recognize it because it's similar in color to the wet clay- it has a duller,powdery finish and is ready to be glazed and refired at high temp.

Answer 5

Bisque is the product of greenware after it's been fired.
