About Porcelain
Porcelain is a ceramic material made by firing China clay and China stone in a kiln at temperatures in the region of 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit. The resulting material is hard, strong, glassy and durable . Usually white or off-white, porcelain comes in both glazed and unglazed varieties, with bisque, fired at a high temperature, representing the most popular unglazed variety. Unlike their lower-fired counterparts, porcelain wares do not need glazing to render them impermeable to liquids and for the most part are glazed for decorative purposes and to make them resistant to dirt and staining. Simply speaking the difference between porcelain and ceramics is that the porcelain is translucent, which allows light to penetrate and hard and very strong.
