Ceramic Dishes & Trays – Bisque Forms Ready to Glaze
Decopot’s collection of bisque fired trays, bisque dishes, and playful serving forms is designed for potters, studios, and paint-your-own spaces looking for beautiful, functional shapes without the hassle of mould-making.

You’ll find a variety of forms here — from heart-shaped dishes and star trays, to frog shapes, pesto bowls, and small boat platters. There are also versatile options like our rectangle trays, round coasters, and square serving forms — all pre-fired to bisque and ready for decorating and glaze firing.

Production of Decopot bisque is split between our Palmerston North factory and our long-standing Chinese contractor.

The bodies are similar porcelains, both with useful firing ranges between 1165C and 1200C. Both can be pushed a little higher though this must be at the judgement of the user. The Chinese bisque is a brighter white than items made here. The bodies are comparable in firing performance to PW20.

In general, smaller pieces are imported and larger pieces made in NZ.
This material is perfectly suited to use with Abbots Mid-Fire glazes and indeed all development and routine glaze testing is done on these bodies.
Decopot bisque is an ideal foundation for decoration with Claybright Underglaze, then covered with Abbots Clear and fired to approx. 1180C.

Whether you're stocking a shelf for paint-your-own pottery, adding to your studio range, or producing small batches of ceramic trays and serving dishes, this collection offers ready-made forms you can count on — clean, consistent, and full of creative potential.
