What is the difference between pottery and stoneware?
1 Answer
The difference between pottery and stoneware is that one is an example of the other. Pottery is the general term for items made out of clay, such as vases, bowls and decorative objects. Stoneware is one of the main types of pottery. It is made of thick clay and fired at high temperatures, giving finished pieces a textured surface reminiscent of natural stone. Generally, stoneware pieces are nonporous, so they can hold liquids well. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of stoneware and other pottery.
