About stoneware
Stoneware is a type of pottery that is fired at a high temperature, typically between 1,200 and 1,300 degrees Celsius (2,200 and 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit). The result is a dense, hard, and durable ceramic material that is resistant to chipping and scratching. Stoneware is often used for making functional objects such as plates, bowls, and mugs, as well as decorative items like vases and sculptures.
The raw materials used to make stoneware pottery typically include clay, feldspar, and silica. The clay used for stoneware is usually a mix of different types of clay, which gives the finished product its characteristic strength and durability. The addition of feldspar and silica helps to reduce the shrinkage that occurs during firing and improves the overall quality of the clay.
Stoneware is often glazed, which gives it a smooth and shiny surface that is easy to clean. The glaze also helps to make the pottery more resistant to staining and moisture. Stoneware can be glazed in a variety of colors and patterns, allowing for a wide range of decorative possibilities.
Stoneware has a long history, dating back thousands of years to ancient civilizations such as the Chinese and the Greeks. Today, stoneware is still a popular medium for artists and craftspeople, who use it to create a wide variety of functional and decorative objects. Stoneware pottery is also commonly used in households around the world for everyday dining and cooking.
