Clay and glazes are termed as basic materials in pottery with their own importance. Clay – the main material of this project clay is a natural earth substance containing very fine mineral particles. It forms the base, structure behind pottery and come in several types – Earthenware, Stoneware & Porcelain etc. Earthenware is less dense, made from a non-vitreous clay body and fired at a lower temperature; stoneware is slightly denser with more durability as the petrous clay has been naturally bonded by fire to render an end product vitreous. Porcelain: the highest-fired, most elegant and refined of all ceramics known for its durability as well as it translucency
A glaze is a vitreous layer or coating that has been fused to hardened pottery and other ceramic ware (gl. aec.). They have a twofold purpose: to decorate in color and design, as is self-explanatory; and sometimes to add strength (a varnish can aid waterproofing), or they act only as an overglaze.
