Italian term

biasato

Italian to English Art/Literary Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
This is from a description of ceramics in 18th century Venice. There is a photograph of a large white vase with the upper edge folded outwards and "crimped", painted flowers and birds, two handles, and other decorative elements.

The description says: "Vaso biasato, Venezia, manifattura Vezzi, 1724-1727"

Does anyone know what "biasato" means?
