A person with fine of clay is a person who is admirable in most respects but has a vital weakness. The phrase was coined in The Bible when Nebuchednezzar dreamt of a beautiful metal statue with feet of clay. Daniel interpreted the dream to mean that his kingdom of Babylon was generally strong but had a fatal flaw.
Someone with feet of clay has a hard time getting started on a task or project.

What is the Difference between glass and ceramics?
Technically, glass is a kind of ceramic, but when most people talk about ceramics, they mean clay that has been made very hot to cause the particles to bond together, leaving little spaces between them. During this process, the crystal structure of the clay does not change, and the particles do not actually melt. Common silicate glass is made of silicon dioxide and some other minerals, and the process melts these minerals together into a non-crystalline structure. Silicate glass can be transparent, but clay ceramics are not. Ceramics that are not glazed or otherwise treated to make them waterproof can also absorb gas or liquid (like water) into the spaces between crystals.
