Terracotta flower pots with terracotta tiles in the background. Earthenware may be biscuit (or bisque) fired to temperatures between 1,000 and 1,150 Â°C (1,800 and 2,100 Â°F) and glost-fired (or glaze-fired) to between 950 to 1,050 Â°C (1,740 to 1,920 Â°F), the usual practice in factories and some studio potteries.arker-colored earthenwares, typically orange or red, due to a comparatively high content of iron oxide are widely used for flower pots, tiles and some decorative and oven wares.
