What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic vases?
1 Answer
The difference between porcelain and ceramic vases is that the former is made of a specific type of material, while the latter is a broader category. Ceramic vases are vessels made of clay that have been hardened by heat. Porcelain is one type of ceramic. Fashioned out of kaolin clay that gets fired at high temperatures, porcelain is a durable material with a whitish, translucent appearance when unadorned.
