I guess you won't answer this but no harm in asking. You have poured 'slip' over bisque ware?? Or have you poured glaze over waxed decoratd bisquw ware??

@BibsyP Yes. No, slip.

It's called mobile wax but it has pigment/oxide mixed in it. It's painted with brushes on bisque. As the title claims it is, in fact, slip. And no I can't help myself from silliness.

@michaelk1961 Én úgy tudom máz a neve a folyadéknak amivel le kell önteni, ez majd rá ég, és ettől lesz fényes, és nem engedi át a vizet.

@michaelk1961 Ok thanks for that, but of course that leads to other questions. Why doesn't the slip break off during the firing? did you bisque fire quite low? Do you glaze the pot when the slip is dried or do you have a third firing for the glaze? Is the slip really an engobe? I like the finish of your work. I don't like glazing, its just one disaster after another and a waste of my resources. Would love you to answer this. Thank you.
