Like porcelain, stoneware is a type of ceramic. The raw material is mixed from clay, quartz and feldspar and sometimes also calcite. The mass is then shaped into the desired form on a turntable. Stoneware is then fired at 970 to 1,230°C. After firing, stoneware is permeable to water. For this reason, cups, plates or other tableware made of stoneware are glazed after firing. The glaze makes each stoneware tableware truly unique.
All common types of tableware can be made from stoneware, just as from porcelain or glass.

Stoneware and porcelain tableware differ first of all in their appearance. While plates, cups or bowls made of porcelain are more delicate and thin-walled, stoneware tableware is usually thicker. Nevertheless, porcelain is usually more stable and harder and therefore not as sensitive to edge impact. This is because porcelain has a much higher quartz content than stoneware and is fired at temperatures of 1,400°C. Compared to porcelain or tempered glass tableware, stoneware is therefore somewhat softer.
Stoneware is made of clay, feldspar, chalk and quartz. This makes the material robust, but also more porous. For this reason, stoneware tableware must be glazed after firing if the surface is to repel moisture. A glaze, on the other hand, is not necessary for porcelain, but is quite common.
