Stoneware
stoneware is a high fired ceramic, similar to porcelain. Like porcelain, its body undergoes a melt when fired (to approximately 1300 C) and retains its shape at these temperatures; the difference, however, is in the degree of melt (usually not as complete as porcelain) and in the clays used to construct the body. Clays used for stoneware can contain significant amounts of iron, giving the body colour, and are often more coarse. The name comes from the fact that the fired body is 'harder than stone' on the Moh's scale of Hardness.
