The Porcelain<\/strong> and Stoneware<\/strong> both share the same ceramic qualities<\/em><\/strong> but have unique properties that make them stand out on their strength, water resistance, and durability. Porcelain<\/strong> and stoneware<\/strong> differences can mainly be seen in the appearance of the products also the temperature at which they can be fired. Below is a quick comparison of porcelain vs stoneware clay<\/strong> dinnerware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Porcelain<\/strong> can be fired at high temperatures around 2,200 \u2013 2,640 degrees Fahrenheit while Stoneware can be fired at high temperatures between 2,000 \u2013 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Porcelain<\/strong>, after fired will have a shiny appearance and a smooth hard texture while Stoneware<\/strong> does not need to be glazed in order to be water-proofed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Porcelain<\/strong> is durable, non-porous, and usually white While Stoneware is also durable, non-porous, and more opaque than Porcelain<\/strong> and not as delicate as Porcelain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: They are ceramics made out of clay.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n People tend to make the mistake of comparing porcelain and clay<\/strong>; this is why I want to straighten this up. First, Clay <\/strong>is a basic material used in making ceramic dinnerware<\/strong>. This implies that all-ceramic dinnerware<\/strong> comes from clay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That been said let me list the three main ceramic products that clay turns out to be after it has been fired under high temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Stoneware<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Porcelain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Earthenware<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They are all made from raw material which is clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> Bone china can be a sub-category because it is made of bone-ash and very refined clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPORCELAIN VS CLAY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
