Ceramics and Porcelain
There is often confusion and misuse of the terms ceramics and porcelain.
Ceramic is the generic term used for ‘the potter's art, pottery, and the potter's earth' (OED 2004:1044).
Porcelain is ‘a ceramic ware constituted of two ingredients, kaolin and Chinastone, or petuntse, a felspathic material from decomposed granite.....when fired it is normally very hard, normally white, vitrified and translucent' (Medley 2006:280).
