    Posso usar a cera sobre o esmalte, antes da queima?

      On top of the glaze, it won't work. You can use the wax over the bisque and then apply the glaze over it. Wax is often used in ceramics as a way to resist or mask areas you do not want the glaze to cover.

    I really like plates with no "foot" like yours, but I'm unsure about the finished product, if I let the bottom unglazed, wouldn't it become rough and could potentially ruin the surface where you put it on? It's my greatest doubt about dping ceramics, because every industrial piece you buy has a little unfished piece under it, but it's smooth, not rough and it doesn't seem to absorb water like hand made ceramic left unglazed.

      Hi! It depends on whether the plates are fired to the temperature at which the clay vitrifies and the type of clay. When it vitrifies, it becomes impermeable, and if you sand it, it turns out very smooth. In my case, I use porcelain, which allows me to do this.
