Pottery and Porcelain

Pottery and porcelain are forms of ceramic ware created by shaping and firing clay. Pottery typically involves earthenware or stoneware clay, which is fired at lower temperatures and often has a more rustic appearance. Porcelain is a refined, high-fired ceramic made from a special blend of fine clay, called kaolin, which results in a smooth, translucent, and durable material. While pottery is often used for practical items like bowls and vases, porcelain is prized for its elegance and used in fine china, decorative pieces, and artistic objects. Both require skillful craftsmanship and controlled firing processes.
