Ceramic ware is a broad term that encompasses both PORCELAIN and POTTERY. PORCELAIN is a type of ceramic ware that is made from a combination of kaolin, feldspar, and quartz, and is fired at high temperatures to create a hard, glossy finish. POTTERY is also a type of ceramic ware, but it is made from clay and fired at lower temperatures, resulting in a more porous material. Both PORCELAIN and POTTERY are used to make a variety of items, such as dishes, vases, and sculptures.
