CERAMICS
The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramos). The term covers inorganic non-metallic materials which are formed by the action of heat. Up until the 1950s or so, the most important of these were the traditional clays, made into pottery, bricks, tiles and the like, along with cements and glass. Clay-based ceramics are described in the article on pottery. A composite material of ceramic and metal is known as cermet. The word ceramic can be an adjective, and can also be used as a noun to refer to a ceramic material, or a product of ceramic manufacture. Ceramics may also be used as a singular noun referring to the art of making things out of ceramic materials. The technology of manufacturing and usage of ceramic materials is part of the field of ceramic engineering. China
The Chinese perfected porcelain by using kaolin, a white clay, mixing it with china stone and firing it at high temperatures. That was in the 10th century and it took another 800 years before true porcelain was developed in Europe.
China, in this context, originally refered to a ceramic dinnerware coming out of the country of China which was particularly fine and exceptionally white. It was a standard of quality unknown elsewhere at the time.
To answer the question then, China is a ceramic product but of a very fine quality and it should more accurately be called porcelain.
The durability between ceramic and porcelain tiles is that porcelain tires are more dense and are considered more durable and better suited for heavy wear than the ceramic tiles.
Porcelain.
Toilets are made from clay and water that is heated and molded to form a ceramic porcelain. Ceramic porcelain was chosen because of its characteristics such as sturdiness, cheapness and durability.
Neither actually, they are not supposed to be subjected to open, intense heat. But, of the two, ceramic would be better.

The durability between ceramic and porcelain tiles is that porcelain tires are more dense and are considered more durable and better suited for heavy wear than the ceramic tiles.
Porcelain is a ceramic material, and because of this, the question "devolves" into something akin to, "Is a ceramic light socket better than a ceramic one?"
A candle holder made in Italy would most likely be made of porcelain or ceramic. Porcelain is the common name given to all ceramic items.
Porcelain, a kind of ceramic
The word 'porcelain' is a noun, a word for a white, translucent, ceramic; a word for things made from this ceramic; a word for a substance; a word for a thing.
Porcelain is not transparent. It is a ceramic material that is typically opaque and can be glazed for a glossy finish.
porcelain materials/ ceramic
Porcelain is the fragile ceramic thought to have been invented in China. It is known for its delicate appearance and durability.
The description matches that of porcelain, a type of ceramic made from fine clay. Porcelain is known for its durability, whiteness, and translucency, making it a popular material for dishes, vases, and decorative items.
Porcelain clay is denser (tinier particles) than ceramic, so it fires harder. It will stand up to abuse better than ceramic, and is generally approved for outdoor installations with freeze/thaw cycles, where ceramic cannot withstand them. Porcelain is generally more expensive than ceramic. That doesn't mean ceramic shouldn't be used - just be wary of installing it in rooms where billiard balls, fireplace logs, or iron frying pans will be bouncing off of it. In my opinion, ceramic is fine for bathrooms where the hardest things to hit it will be plastic hair dryers or shampoo bottles, but in other areas I'd use porcelain. I hate replacing broken tiles.
