What type of ceramics is made from three basic components: clay, silica and feldspar?
1 Answer
Traditional ceramics are the type of ceramics made from three basic components: clay, silica and feldspar. The sub-type of ceramic an artisan produces depends on the refinement of the materials. Earthenware comes from the least refined clay, while porcelain is the most refined. Stoneware falls between the two in terms of its purity. Explore a diverse assortment of ceramics on 1stDibs.
