Ceramics
Ceramic is a catch-all phrase that includes both pottery and porcelain. Ceramics are made from a mixture of clay, water and various additives that are shaped and fired.
Pottery
Simply speaking, the difference between porcelain and pottery is that porcelain is translucent, or allows some light to penetrate, while pottery does not.
Earthenware and stoneware clays are used to make pottery and are fired at 1,700 to 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit and 2,100 to 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively. Earthenware is still porous after firing unless it is glazed, while stoneware will hold water regardless of whether it is glazed or not.
Pottery pieces have been found that date back to 1400 to 1200 BC, making this craft much older than the craft of making porcelain.
Porcelain
Porcelain of a sort was first made in China, sometime during the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220AD). By the Southern and Northern Dynasty (420 AD-589 AD), the process had evolved enough for it to be recognized today as porcelain. The clay used in porcelain is kaolin,which is fired up to 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit. Porcelain is commonly called china today because for centuries only China could make this fine product.
