Pottery Types

Pottery types are categories based on how they are made, their appearance, and their use. Earthenware is soft and porous, often glazed for durability, commonly used for bowls and dishes. Stoneware is sturdier, firing at higher temperatures, ideal for cookware and mugs. Porcelain is fine, smooth, and usually white, created with special clay and high heat, often used for fine dishes and decorative items. Each type has unique properties suited to different purposes, reflecting historical traditions and technological advances in ceramic craftsmanship.
