Clay is a material that has been used by humans for pottery and other objects since the beginning of time. There are many different types of clay, each with its own unique properties. In this blog post, we will discuss four of the most common types of clay and what they are used for.<\/p>\n
Earthenware is a type of clay that is fired at a lower temperature than other types of clay. It is a porous material, which means that it can absorb water easily. This gives it a slightly porous quality, which makes it well suited for holding water and other liquids. In addition, earthenware is relatively durable and resistant to chipping and breaking. However, it is not as strong as stoneware or porcelain and is more susceptible to scratches and wear. As a result, earthenware is often used for less formal dinnerware, such as platters and serving bowls. It can also be glazed to create a variety of colors and patterns.
