Earthenware
Earthenware is a common
ceramic material, which is used extensively for
pottery tableware and decorative objects. Although body formulations vary tremendously between countries, and even between individual makers, a generic composition is 25 all
clay, 28%
kaolin, 32%
quartz, and 15%
feldspar. Earthenware is one of the oldest materials used in
pottery. While red earthenware made from red clays is very familiar and recognizable, white and buff colored earthenware clays are also commercially available and commonly used.
