High-fire ceramics

High-fire ceramics refers to clay objects that are fired at very high temperatures, typically between 2,300 and 2,550 degrees Fahrenheit (approx. 1,260 to 1,400°C). This process makes the ceramics strong, durable, and non-porous, often resulting in a vitrified surface that resists chipping and staining. It is commonly used for fine pottery, porcelain, and some tiles. High firing not only enhances the strength and translucency of certain materials but also allows for intricate glazing effects and detailed craftsmanship. Overall, high-fire ceramics are valued for their resilience, beauty, and ability to withstand daily use.
