What is *a* bisque? I know its soup and pottery process definitions; what I am trying to figure out is what people are referring to when they talk about bisque as a vessel form/shape. Are they crazy? Am I? bah.

I'm off to grab AFFC :D And Profit! :D

Perhaps the results of the pottery process tend to be shaped a certain way?

I vaguely recall hearing the term used once for one of those really big ceramic soup bowls that you use to hold the soup before you ladle it out for individual servings. I can't seem to find any actual confirmation of this so perhaps I am being crazy or making up words. I am known for this.

Joel: I know those as tureens. :)

Heather, I think they are crazy.

I can find bisques that are:

but no bisques that are a shape or a form.

I know them as tureens as well but I know somewhere I have heard them referred to as a "soup bisque" which makes me think that the person who used that term may have been misunderstanding something in French.

I think that the person is trying to create new words or has mis-interpreted something that they have read.
