= Formulating a Porcelain = Understanding the functions of each of the major materials in a high temperature porcelain gives you the ability to tune their amounts and choose brand names to make the porcelain you want. * http://ceramic-materials.com/cermat/education/282.htmlAnother site:
porcelain is basically made from a mixture of two ingredients--kaolin and petuntse. Kaolin is a pure white clay that forms when the mineral feldspar breaks down. Petuntse is a type of feldspar found only in China. It is ground to a fine powder and mixed with kaolin.

Well porcelain is made from a very fine white clay called china clay or kaolinite. 1400°C is used when firing it. However, many modern ceramic materials are not made from clay, instead they are produced from silicon and zirconium compounds, zirconia (ZrO ) or silicon nitride (Si3N4)I really hope that helps ;)
clay, almost all pieces of pottery are made from a form of clay, such as terra cotta, stoneware, or porcelain
Dishes made of porcelain or any other clay that are properly fired and glazed are not toxic. Dishes which are underfired or glazed with glazes containing lead may be toxic.
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.
Pottery is mainly of three types. Earthenware used for pottery tableware and decorative objects with a composition of 25% ball clay, 28% kaolin, 32% quartz and 15% feldspar. Stoneware, used in making hotelware, kitchenware, cookware, garden products, electrical, chemical and laboratory ware, will be having a composition of plastic fire clays 0-100% , ball clays 0-15%, quartz, 0-30% feldspar and chamotte 0 -15%. Porcelain is also considered as pottery made by heating raw materials, generally including clay in the form of kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 °C (2,192 °F) and 1,400 °C (2,552 °F).
Artists made porcelain from a mixture of pure white clay and feldspar.
Porcelain is a hard, white, translucent ceramic made by firing a pure clay and then glazing with variously colored fusible materials; china.

No. Porcelain is a man-made substance made from clay and fired in a kiln.
Clay or porcelain same as the bowl
Fine china is made of a white clay made to imitate porcelain. Porcelain is one of the many types of clay used in China. Porcelain is considered valuable because of its white color and translucence. Porcelain is made of three materials: quartz, feldspar & kaolin (refined white clay) fired at a very high temperature. This was first made in China, creating the category "chinaware" In the 1700's the Europeans tried to copy the formula by trial and error. Meissen succeeded. The raw materials were found in Germany and France (Limoges region) and these countries produced porcelain. In Britain, they substituted bone ash for the quartz and feldspar creating bone china. Fine china is a created category, usually referring to bone china and porcelain as opposed to stoneware, ironstone and earthenware which is fired at a lower temperature and prone to chipping and crazing.
Depends...Porcelain is a fire-clay, so it could be a solid ceramic.Older sinks are made of cast and have a porcelain coating fused to it. Modern metal core porcelain sinks are made of stainless steel.
Dishes were made in China of a special clay found in the country. It is called Kaolin and it is the clay that porcelain is made out of. Porcelain is one of the most fragile of the pottery clays and is the most luminescent.
Toilets are generally made out of porcelain which is a type of ceramic created by heating types of clay such as Kaolinite which is a clay mineral.
porcelain
Basically clay, pretty much like porcelain or ceramics.
