Ceramic bisque is undecorated fired ceramic. In ceramics, there are usually two firings in order to finish a piece. The first firing produces a piece that is hard and able to be decorated with ceramic paint. The second firing makes the paint melt into the waterproof coating that is glass like in texture.
So bisque is the first firing. This piece can be decorated with paint that does not need to be fired the second time. These pieces are very common in decorative figurines.

Can you watercolor bisqueware?
Yes, you can paint (glaze) ceramics after being bisque fired. You can also bisque fire it twice...
Where do you place a piece of pottery when it is being fired?
When pottery is being fired it is placed inside a kiln. Most potters do two firings, one for bisqueware and a glaze firing. Bisqueware is pottery that has been fired to a temperature hot enough to not only evaporate any water in the clay, but also evaporate water at the molecular level thus changing the chemical structure of the clay molecules and creating the hard material you know as ceramic. After bisque firing, pottery is glazed and placed in another kiln. There are many types of glaze firings. Some are done with gas (reduction firing) and some firings are done with electric (oxidation firing). There are also unconventional methods of firing such as Raku, pit firing, and soda firing.

What happens when you put underglaze that's for bisqueware on greenware?
The worst thing I have personally seen happen is that the color is very muted and sometimes bubbly. I would bisque fire it and see what it looks like. I haven't heard of any explosions or serious cracking issues associated with this. If the color is bad after bisque firing, I would try to do a glaze firing. Hopefully the glaze will fully cover the underglaze.
What are the stages a piece of clay goes through to make a finished piece of pottery?
1. Slip-watered down clay in a muddy form2. Plastic-workable stage; molding stage; can recycle; can join to other pieces3. Leather-hard-stiff and will hold its shape; join to other pieces; carve into; recycle4. Greenware-bone dry; can be carved into; very fragile; can recycle5. Bisqueware-fired once in kiln; can not be recycled; glazing stage6. Earthenware-second fire-low fire; can not be recycled7. Glazeware-second fire-high fire; can not be recycled; vitrified
