SHIPPING INFORMATION
PLEASE NOTE: Most items are cast fresh when your order is received. With the large
number of designs we have, we only keep a small inventory of finished ceramic
bisque samples in our gift shop. If the items you order are all in stock, we may pull
them from our showroom and they will be shipped when your order is processed. For
out of stock items, we have the molds for all the items listed on our website and will
cast them for you, please allow up to two weeks for us to complete your order. We
know that you are anxious to receive your order and we will work hard to complete it
as soon as possible. Depending on the number of orders we're working on, drying,
cleaning, firing time, size, etc. we average getting orders in the mail within 7 to 8 days.
If ordering more than one of an item, it may take an extra day or two additional casting
time per piece to finish your order. The reason for the delay is the time involved in the
ceramic casting process. Here is a brief description of how ceramic bisque is made:
We strive to manufacture high quality ready to paint ceramic bisque, every one of our
items is individually hand made. The process begins by pouring a liquid clay based
mixture (slip) into a plaster mold. Slip is added until the desired thickness is achieved
and the remainder of the slip is poured out. The casting is left in the mold, usually
overnight, depending on the size, humidity, weather, etc., until it is firm enough to be
able to stand on its own. When it is removed from the mold, it is then put on a
ventilated shelf to air dry. After drying the seams left from the molds are carefully
removed from the piece with small hand tools and sanding pads. The next step is
firing the casting in a ceramic kiln for around 5 hours until the temperature gets to
Pyrometric Cone 04, approximately 2,000 degrees. The fired ceramics at this point are
glowing red and left undisturbed to cool. The cool down time last until the next day
and is part of the firing process. When they have cooled, they are complete and are
now ready to paint ceramic bisque.

Your order will be carefully packaged to protect your items during shipment. We use
"bubble wrap," styrofoam sheets and pieces, styrofoam "packing peanuts," and air
pillows for cushioning. Also, we cast our ceramic bisque items extra heavy to help
them endure their journey through the mail to your location.
