WHAT DOES EARTHENWARE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

earthenware

Earthenware

Earthenware is the general term for pottery that is not porcelain or some other specific types such as fritware or stoneware. It is, or can be, fired at relatively low temperatures and vitrification does not take place, leaving the body slightly porous. Until porcelain became very widely used in the modern period, the great majority of pottery from the earliest times onwards was of types classed as earthenware. Pit fired earthenware dates back to as early as 29,000–25,000 BCE. Porcelain only began to be manufactured outside East Asia in the 18th-century, and then as an expensive luxury. Unlike porcelain, earthenware is not translucent, and it is normally relatively thick and very heavy. It is far easier to make than porcelain, as a wide range of clays can be used, and it is much more tolerant of low and variable firing temperatures. Most modern craft and amateur pottery is earthenware. After firing the body is porous and opaque, and depending on the raw materials used will be colored from white to buff to red. Earthenware articles may sometimes be as thin as bone china and other porcelains, though they are not translucent and are more easily chipped.
