earthenware

listen to the pronunciation of earthenware
English - English
An opaque, semi-porous ceramic made from clay and other compounds
anything made of clay and baked in a kiln or dried in the sun
Earthenware bowls, pots, or other objects are made of clay that is baked so that it becomes hard. earthenware pots. = terracotta
Dishes post and the like made of a coarse grade of baked clay, porous clay
A non-vitrified (porous) ceramic, kiln-hardened at 850°C-1000°C, synonymous with "pottery" Requires glazing to become non-porous
{i} pottery made of clay
clayware fired at low temperatures producing a heavy, porous, opaque body
Tan or reddish pottery fired at a low temperature, below 1100C In an unglazed form, its porosity prevents it from holding liquids
> Earthenware is the most porous of the three main types of ceramic ware, having a porosity of more than 5% after firing Most of the clays used to make earthenware are only suitable for firing to a relatively low temperature, between 800-1100oC After firing the ceramics are permeable, and vessels are therefore frequently glazed The most common glazes used on Chinese earthenwares are lead-fluxed glazes In China, earthenwares are designated tao to differentiate them from high-fired wares such as stoneware or porcelain
See Crockery, Pottery, Stoneware, and Porcelain
bodies fired at temperatures below cone 1 (2110oF) that remain somewhat porous and open in structure   The vast majority of the world's pottery has been earthenware because of the wide prevalence of earthenware clays and the relative ease of reaching the necessary kiln temperature   Two examples are terra cotta and whiteware (sometimes referred to as talc body)
(German-Irdenware, Topferware) - A colored mass that is porous (absorbs liquid) until is is glazed It is fired at a temperature around 1,000°C
- porous ceramic material fired to only about 800°C (1500°F); sometimes made impervious to liquids by the addition of a lead glaze, as in Hafner ware and folk pottery; see stoneware
Tan or reddish pottery fired at a low temperature, In an unglazed form, its porosity prevents it from holding liquids
The oldest form of dinnerware Contains a number of impurities, making it fragile and absorbent
white, tan, or reddish pottery fired at a low temperature Also any type of clay which has a low firing range
Pots that are porous when unglazed Usually fired at low temperatures Earthenware is softer and more easily damaged than stoneware Example
Vessels and other utensils, ornaments, or the like, made of baked clay
clays are formed by the weathering of local rock formations but some are glacial in origin They are usually red or tan in color Earthenware clays are primarily used in the manufacturing of bricks and industrial tiles since a fairly strong bond is formed at moderate temperatures (below 2000 degrees F)
A basic, inexpensive form of pottery
clay fired at a low kiln temperature around 800–1,100°C Earthenware is not very strong and is porous
A clay fired at low temperatures (cone 010-02) where it does not develop maturity (vitrify) Earthenwares are porous and therefore not as strong as stonewares and porcelains (sintering is the primary particle bonding mechanism) Earthenware glazes are usually very bright colored and if the glazes are properly fitted, earthenware can be quite strong and functional Terra Cotta is a special type of earthenware where red burning clay is used
Earthenware objects are referred to as earthenware. colourful Italian china and earthenware. = terracotta. an earthenware pot, bowl etc is made of very hard baked clay. Pottery that has been fired at low heat and is slightly more porous and coarser than stoneware and porcelain. For practical and decorative purposes, it is usually glazed. The earliest known pottery, a soft earthenware excavated at a Neolithic settlement in Turkey, is thought to be about 9,000 years old. Earthenware is still widely used for cooking, freezing, and serving. See also creamware
a type of clayware fired at comparatively low temperatures producing a heavy porous body that is opaque, not as strong as china, and lacking that product's resonance Because earthenware dinnerware is in the low- and medium-price brackets and lends itself to a variety of decorative styles and methods, it is well suited for everyday use
ceramic ware made of porous clay fired at low heat
A type of claybody usually associated with low-fired ceramics Earthenware tends to be more porous than higher fired clays The relatively low physical hardness of both the clay and the glaze tend to make earthenware less durable then higher fired claybodies and less appropriate a choice for functional pieces See also stoneware, porcelain
earthenware jar
an earthen jar (made of baked clay)
