Is black clay earthenware?
1 Answer

No, the black clay pottery from Mexico is usually considered stoneware, not earthenware. While the two types of pottery seem similar, stoneware is fired at a much higher temperature than earthenware. You can find a large selection of black clay pottery on 1stDibs.
