Types of Pottery Ware
Understanding Different Pottery Ware
Pottery is a versatile art form with various types, each suited for specific uses. Knowing the characteristics of each type can help you make informed choices.
Ceramics
Ceramics often feature a coated surface and encompass items like dining plates, bowls, sanitary ware, tiles, mosaics, pitchers, and vases. Made from soils, rocks, and stones, the ceramic creation process involves preparing raw materials, mixing, designing, and shaping. Shaping techniques include hand-building, spinning on a wheel, using a jigger machine, molding, or squeezing. After shaping, pottery undergoes drying and biscuit firing, then glost firing. Decoration and painting surfaces are either drawn on directly or applied via stickers, and can occur before or after the coating process.
Earthenware
Earthenware is known for its natural brown or red hues due to iron in the raw materials. Ideal for sculptures and images, it resists cracking and is durable. While naturally white earthenware is rare, additives can lighten the color. It typically withstands heat up to 1,050 degrees Celsius. Many artists prefer its vibrant tones over the plain white of porcelain. Earthenware offers a cost-effective option, saving time and resources in the biscuit firing process. Though a common ceramic type, formulations vary by region.
Porcelain
Porcelain stands out for requiring the highest firing temperatures, between 1,200 and 1,400 degrees Celsius. Known for its toughness, smoothness, and uniform color, some porcelain resembles glass, necessitating cone 8 to cone 12 heat. Its desirable properties make it popular for commercial products like kitchenware, which benefit from its heat and electrical resistance, and medical supplies, including false teeth and caps.
By understanding these distinct qualities, you can select the most suitable pottery for your needs, whether creating art or choosing pieces for everyday use.
