stoneware

Stoneware is a type of durable, high-fired pottery made from clay that is fired at temperatures between 1,200°C and 1,300°C (2,192°F to 2,372°F). It is dense and strong, often with a slightly gritty surface, making it resistant to chipping and water absorption. Commonly used for dishes, mugs, and crocks, stoneware can be glazed or unglazed, offering both functional and decorative options. Its sturdy construction makes it suitable for everyday use and traditional craft applications, and it often features an earthy, rustic appearance.
