What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain pots?

The difference between ceramic and porcelain pots is specificity. Ceramic pots are any pots made from clay that undergo a firing process. Porcelain pots are ceramic pots made from a special clay that usually features kaolin and feldspar. After throwing, the pots get fired at high temperatures. A porcelain pot is generally smoother, less porous and more translucent than other types of ceramic pots, such as stoneware and earthenware. Explore a variety of porcelain pots and other ceramic pots on 1stDibs.

Can ceramic pots be left outside in winter?

No, ceramic pots should not be left outside during winters as they may crack. Though the coating on the ceramic pots keeps the moisture out, small chips in the coating could allow some moisture in. The moisture can then freeze and expand, which will lead to larger cracks. Find a variety of ceramic pots on 1stDibs.
