Yes, certain types of clay can dissolve in water. These types of clays are not fired, non oil based clays, but natural and air dried clays.

Dry clay can be recycled by putting it in water. This will remoisten the clay and allow it to be kneaded and molded. Once clay has been fired it can no longer be recycled. Fired clay can be soaked a long time and will not dissolve.
Firing clay is when a clay is fired in a kiln, this is to make the clay stay strong.
a clay slab is a slab made of clay
Clay is made of clay ...
Because clay is not a salt; it's a mineral. However, clay particles can be so minute that they become invisible colloids in water.

Clay, in fact, does sink at certain conditions. ~Liz http://eragongal44.webs.com
The antagonist of clay is water or any substance that can dissolve or break down the clay structure. This could be due to factors such as erosion, weathering, or chemical reactions.
=no, but if you mix clay and water together you get slip to stick pieces of clay together!=

Let's take a look at the properties of clay and sugar. We know that clay doesn't dissolve in water, but sugar does. So, first, mix this mixture of clay and sugar in a large amount of water and stir. Afterwards, filter the solution. You will get sugar inside the water and the clay is the residue.
It would be easier to remove the clay from a soil, as clay is a component of soil. Dissolve the whole mass into water solution, let set several minutes as this will settle out the sand and silt particles. Pour off the dirty water. Your clay is in the dirty water. remove water by evaporation.
Ag2CrO4 should form a clay red precipitate which doesn't dissolve in acid.
Personally I wouldn't put clay in a fish tank due to the properties of clay. It will change the pH of your water and as the clay sits in the tank it will soften and dissolve clogging your filter an clouding the water. In addition, to many of those tiny particles floating in the water can't be good for your fish' gills either. Just an opinion.
It is impossible to dissolve bisque ware or glaze ware pottery! To cool thing about ceramics wares is that once they are fired to high temperatures the particles undertake a chemical reaction that renders them permanent. (That is why we are able to find ancient pottery) You can dissolve unfired clay wares by simply leaving them to soak in water.
You could built a boat of clay. Provided the clay has been fired and will not dissolve in water. Provided that once placed in water, it is able to displace its gross weight and still have ample freeboard to prevent water coming inboard. Whether the clay walls of the vessel is strong enough to withstand the considerable forces of the oceans is another matter!
