Earthenware refers to a range of articles made from ceramic materials and used for a number of purposes including tableware, pottery, and decorative objects. The blend of materials in earthenware varies, depending on the region, but it generally includes minerals such as quartz and feldspar, along with ball clay, a very plastic natural clay, and kaolin, or china clay, a more mineralized form. These materials are ground so that they have an even texture, and they are worked on a wheel. 更多
