I need a source for unglazed porcelain bisque ware which I can decorate and fire to cone 5 (not 05). What I most want is dinner plates, salad plates and soup/desert bowls. All I seem to find is pre-glazed pieces for china painting and that is NOT what I want to do. Any help would be appreciated.

It would help if we knew where you are; this is after all a global newsgroup!

Not sure where in the world you are, here in New Zealand it is easy to get unglazed bisque ware but I have not seen it in porcelain. We have a porcelain that will fire to cone 5, but mostly porcelain fire at cone 8 or above. It is a big ask, Perhaps if you approach the suppliers of the glazed porcelain ware they would be prepared to supply you with bisque ware, but be warned it may need firing substantially higher than cone 5. I did a search for the porcelain, the type I use is called cool ice and will fire to cone 5 or 6, but I could only find references to southern ice which is the higher firing porcelain made by the same company.
