porcelain manufacturing

Porcelain manufacturing involves shaping a fine, white ceramic material made from a mixture of kaolin clay, feldspar, and quartz. The process begins with preparing and blending these raw materials, then shaping the material through methods like molding or hand-forming. The shaped piece is carefully dried to remove moisture before it’s fired in a kiln at high temperatures—usually around 1,200 to 1,400°C—which vitrifies the ceramic, making it durable and translucent. Sometimes, it’s decorated with glazes or paintings before a final firing. The result is a smooth, strong, and elegant material used for pottery, dishes, art, and more.
