  • Full crate: $44
  • 3/4 crate: $37.50
  • 1/2 crate: $25
  • 1/4 crate: $13

We use a standard-size crate with an internal dimension of L 47cm x W 31cm x H 11cm.

Standard Firing Temperatures are:

  • Bisque: Cone 05
  • Glaze: Cone 5

*Utilizing regular bisque or clay firing cycles

Calculation Method

  • A Cup that fits inside the crate’s internal volume will be based on one crate size.
  • A Pot that is taller than the crate will incur a charge equivalent to 2 crate sizes.

*Kindly refer to the illustration provided below.

Submission Requirements

  • All bisque must be bone-dry.
  • Raw oxides in powdered form are prohibited.
  • Proof of clay properties, in the form of a datasheet from the manufacturer, may be requested.
