Bisque means “baked twice”, it’s French (originally latin) and is from the same source as the word “biscuit” (biscuits are baked twice to make them crunchier). Freshly formed clay is called leatherware, it dries to become greenware, this is fired to make “bisque” ceramics. The bisque is decorated and glazed and fired again to produce the finished article.
