Yes.
Clay is actually a description of sediment of a specific particle size. As such clay is not necessarily a rock. However when compacted and cemented clay forms claystone which is a sedimentary rock.
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT CLAY IS MOIST, SOFT, AND SMOOTH. SHALE IS rock of fissile or laminated structure .
The cementing material could be calcite, clay minerals, iron minerals, or quartz in a clastic sedimentary rock.

the type of rock made mostly from clay is the shale rock
No, the clay was a rock but the pot, being artificially manufactured, is a ceramic. Similarly concrete is not a rock.
